Artist Bio
Rosetta DeBerardinis is a visual artist born in
New York City who resides in Maryland. Her paintings, sculpture
and urban drawings have been exhibited internationally in museum
group shows and in solo exhibitions at commercial galleries and
art venues. She is featured in the recent book 100 Artists
of Washington, DC by art critic /curator F. Lennox Campello

past decade, the artist has completed two studio residencies,
been featured in magazines and newspapers, written art reviews
for D.C. Art News blog, lectured for Golden Artist Colors and
in 2007 awarded Liquitexs Art of the Month.
DeBerardinis uses color as a material. Her work
is a culmination of abstract expressionism, gestural, action painting
and Colorfield. Creating work up to 9 ft., she does not fear the
blank canvas nor is she intimidated by its large empty spatial
plane. Using various instruments besides a brush, her gloved hand
is her most important tool. Her oeuvre includes paintings, pen
and ink urban drawings and three-dimensional work assembled using
found objects.
Her art education began at age five by attending
Pratt Institutes childrens program where she studied
for several years. DeBerardinis is a graduate of Vassar College
and holds degrees from the University of the District of Columbia
and the University of Baltimore School of Law. She is an avid
reader and a publisher writer.
