Artist Bio
Rosetta DeBerardinis is an abstract expressionist
painter whose work requires no narrative. Her paintings merge
energy, form, texture, space and color. She paints with the freedom
of expression and a gestural style distinctly her own.
DeBerardinis paints for a living and lives to paint.
The artist is currently a resident studio artist at School 33
Art Center in Baltimore, MD. Her work is exhibited and sold at
commercial art galleries and venues around the mid-Atlantic region.
In 2007, her colorful abstract paintings earned her a Liquitex
Artist of the Month Award which included having her images, bio
and information posted on the acrylic manufacturer's web site.
Her painting, "Butterflies Are Free" along with her
statement is included in the book Thinking About Art: The One
Word Project and led to an invitational exhibit at the Arts Club
of Washington where she delivered a portion of the Artists Talk.
By expanding her market to Richmond, Virginia where she exhibited
in a two-person gallery show in the spring of 2007 her work was
published twice in the Richmond-Times Dispatch. She has also been
featured in Galleries magazine, Contemporary Art Magazine, The
Voice of the Hill, the Hill Rag, The Sentinel and is a contributing
writer to the Mid-Atlantic Art News blog.
In 2002, her ceramic sculpture was juried into the
International Festival of Postmodern Ceramics and exhibited at
the City Museum of Varazdin in Croatia. She served two years as
an art tour guide in Bethesda, Maryland and Washington, DC. She
was a volunteer for the Corcoran Gallery of Art's 47th Biennial
and worked as a museum assistant at the Phillips Collection. In
1998, the Washington Sports and Entertainment Center (aka the
MCI Center) commissioned her to design a historic permanent installation
for its lobby.
DeBerardinis' art instruction began at age five,
when her mother enrolled her at Pratt Institute in New York City.
Her interest in the creative process continued while obtaining
degrees at Vassar College, the University of the District of Columbia
and University of Baltimore School of Law and the London School
of Social Research. Eight years ago, she transitioned from attorney,
editor and published writer to become a full-time artist.
