Ever "on the alert", this magnificent predator doesn't miss much that goes on in his immediate vicinity. Although drawn to modeling in clay at a very young age, Rosetta's fomnat art training was in commercial art,culminating at the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles.Once established in a successful graphic design career,the urge to pursue her love of creating in three dimensions resurfaced and now she is sculpting full-time. Her subjects are animals,another childhood passion Stuffed animals took the place of dolls,and recurring nightmares of being stalked by big cats evolved into wonder-filled dreams of friendly encounters with them. Admiration and respect for the grace, power, and nobility of the wild ones is evident in Rosetta sculptures, which capture their spirit, form, and movement in a unique hard-edged yet fluid style. Rosetta has exhibited extensively both nationally and internationally,has completed corporate,public and private commissions and has received numerous awards for her wark."I don't consider creating sculpture to be part of my job. Whether it was carving animals out of soap as a child,trying to capture the personality of my fiance in a clay portrait while still at art school, or carving building scraps into decorative elements for the house my husband and I designed and built in a Redwood forest, sculpture has always been something I have done for the pure joy of it
