Landscape, Flora, Fauna in Oil, Acrylic, Watercolor
 
RoseMarie paints a wide range of subjects expressing herself with a sensitive and accomplished style using watercolours, oils or acrylics. She uses oils or watercolours when plein air sketching and conté chalks, charcoal or graphite when life drawing. Currently RoseMarie is exploring textural effects and non-objective painting with acrylics while still focusing on realism when painting flora, fauna or rural landscapes. RoseMarie illustrated ‘The Canadian Shield Alphabet' a Canadian Writers in Science, award winning children’s book. RoseMarie’s books ‘A Brush with Words’ and ‘A Brush with Wilderness’ are collections of some of her writing, wilderness photography and her paintings respectively. A passionate advocate in promoting visual art and its importance; RoseMarie exhibits, teaches children 2 & 3 dimensional art, curates, volunteers and is a member of numerous art galleries in Ontario.

Exploring, sketching and photographing the Canadian wilderness from coast to coast continually provides enormous inspiration for RoseMarie's paintings. Her rich palette and lively brush work combined with her understanding of composition and draftsmanship allow her to portray the natural world in a truthful, dramatic and realistic manner.
Hiking, camping, canoeing and rafting in wilderness areas allows RoseMarie to indulge her abiding fascination with rugged Canadian landscapes. Excursions to the Yukon, the Northwest Territories, rafting on the Nahanni and Tatshenshini Rivers as well as six weeks in the High Arctic have given her a unique insight into the vastness of Canada, her fragile eco systems, flora, fauna and cultures.
In addition to the extreme wilderness, RoseMarie also enjoys painting rural towns and landscapes, expressing herself with a sensitive and accomplished style using oils, acrylics or watercolours.
Born and educated in Toronto she studied watercolour and oil painting, composition, museum studies and perspective with Archibald (Dan) Logan. RoseMarie studied graphic art disciplines, colour theory, design and rendering with Vince McGill as well as layout, life studies and illustration with Fred Savard and history of art, sculpture and anatomy with William Clements.
Aside from her expressions in fine art RoseMarie is an award winning designer and illustrator of two and three dimensional children's toys and pastimes for numerous multi-national corporations. She is has also designed and illustrated logos, packaging concepts as well as animated windows.
As a fine artist she has exhibited extensively in galleries and juried art shows her painting are in numerous private collections as well as those of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Canadian Coast Guard.
