Bio
<p>Rosebraugh's artwork seeks connections between humans and examines how those parallel our relationship<br>with the environment. She incorporates natural materials joined together with fabricated objects to<br>establish a contact between man and nature. Each creation explores the human quest for comfort<br>versus our need to live mindfully on the earth. The works can be temporary, created using<br>materials and elements on site which decompose in time - symbolic of the cycle and regeneration<br>of our planet. The work is based on the exchange of ideas and resources, sometimes with direct<br>participation by people as possible vehicles for social change. Through her practice she nurtures a<br>discourse on human existence as a whole, its kinship to systems of control, time, and nature.<br>Focused on painting, sculpture, video and installation, her work attempts to transcend the ruins<br>of the past and the challenges of the present by offering a context that facilitates the analysis<br>of our responsibility, needs and desires in a future unknown.</p><p>Rosebraugh attained her MFA in Florence, Italy and currently lives and works in Marnay Sur Seine,<br>France and Los Angeles, California. In 2016, her work was accepted into 3 group exhibitions<br>in City Hall (2nd arrondissement) in Paris, France in conjunction with the International Summit on<br>Climate Change. Rosebraugh’s artwork is part of the Permanent Collection of the Museo de Arte<br>Contemporanea di Florina in Greece and the Hermann Nitsch Museum in Naples, Italy. Her work was<br>installed into the Natural History/State Darwin Museum in Moscow, Russia for an exhibition on<br>ecology titled “Now &amp; After.” In 2018 her work was featured in ACCESS magazine published in Soul,<br>Korea and in 2020 was included in an exhibition titled “Corona and Climate Crisis” at the Group Global<br>3000 Gallery for Sustainable Art in Berlin, Germany.<br>Her artist residencies have included sailing the Arctic Circle, creating work based on the importance<br>of water at the Scuola Internazionale di Grafica in Venice, Italy, studying water from the River Seine<br>at the Camac Foundation in Marnay Sur Seine, France, as well as water research in Naples, Italy in<br>collaboration with the Hermann Nitsch museum. She has created public art pieces in Los Angeles,<br>California, Gearhart, Oregon and Paris, France. Currently she is the co director of L’Expressoir Artist<br>Residency in Marnay Sur Seine, and was recently featured in LA Voyage magazine, (fall 2020) the<br>LA Downtown News (Summer 2020) and Shout Out LA magazine (2021).</p>
