Rosetta DeBerardinis

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.
