Rosemary Rios

Born 1975, San Francisco, California

Rosemary Rios is a contemporary artist whose work explores the intersection of color, emotion, and natural beauty. With over two decades of artistic practice, Rios has developed a distinctive style that captures both the vibrancy and subtlety of the human experience.

Her paintings are characterized by bold brushstrokes, rich textures, and an intuitive use of color that speaks directly to the viewer's emotions. Rios draws inspiration from her travels, personal experiences, and the changing seasons, creating works that are both deeply personal and universally resonant.
