BIOGRAPHY
Rosa M. is a native of Northern Chihuahua. She spent her
childhood in Southern California and lived in Providence Rhode Island during
the 70s and early 80s where she studied privately with Eugene Tonoff and
Anthony Janello. She studied painting and illustration at the Rhode Island School of design (RISD). In the early 1980s Rosa M. worked as a scene painter at
the Trinity Repertory Theater in Providence, under David Ward who now teaches
at Yale. From 1989 through 1992 she studied ceramics with Pat Crabb at Santa Ana College. During 1993-94 the artist undertook printmaking at Self Help Graphics in
East Los Angeles. In 1995 Rosa M. returned to Providence to paint a mural.
Following the mural she embarked on a year of travel and independent study in Mexico as a result of winning the special award in the First Biennial of Mexican and
Chicano painting from the Los Angeles Mexican Cultural Institute. She presently
resides in Laguna Beach, California.
SCOPE NOTE
The collection takes up 1.5 linear feet in upright archival
boxes and one flat box for oversize materials. The majority of the collection
is dedicated to examples of Rosa M.s work in slides and photographs. These
photographs are in many cases accompanied by descriptions by the artist
herself. Insights into her personal and professional life can be found
throughout box 1 and 2 in correspondence with friends and associates and photos
of exhibitions and events. Rosa M.s portfolio of her work, found in box 2, contains not only reviews and news releases about her artwork, but descriptions of her
method in creating some of the important works in her career. Box 4 contains 32 original examples of her work arranged in alphabetical order by title.
Series I
Personal/Biographical/Professional. This
series covers many of the most important events of Rosa Ms life spanning the
years 1973 to 2000. Beginning with a comprehensive collection of her exhibit
announcements, the series continues through 20 folders and two boxes. It
includes announcements and letters concerning her work on the Mayor's Council
on Arts and Cultural Affairs for Providence Rhode Island, and her participation
in the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art. The murals she produced for
the Mayor's Council on Arts and Cultural Affairs are seen in her portfolio and
in numerous news articles like Noticias which showcased her work on the
project. Among the photos in box 2, Rosa M. can be seen with many prominent
artists and art patrons. In this series, notes and letters by the artist detail
the way she thinks and feels about her art and art in general, and her many
Series II Artists Work. Separate from the work she has represented in her
portfolio this series contains 32 original works by Rosa M. Several artistic
media are represented as well as one photo of Rosa M. during her modeling
career, taken by Joshua Greene, son of Milton Greene, Marilyn Monroes
photographer and biographer. The artist work series shows her depth of talent
both in its scope of content and in the challenging subjects that Rosa M.
chooses to portray.
