VISUAL ARTIST
Current happenings
Thrilled to be part of the inaugural Mornington Peninsula Contemporary Art Prize (MPCAP), and even more so to introduce a work that holds a special place in my heart.
Rosa spent a few short weeks embracing the notion of the 'creative pause,' a sanctuary for reflection, exploration, and allowing past works to inform new creations at the unique environments of Police Point and Point Nepean National Parks.
Channeling the wisdom of Marina Abramović ‘Art is not made in a vacuum. Art is made by reflecting.
MPRG artist-in-residence program
Jika Jika Community Centre
''De-Fence against Loneliness' funded by a Victorian Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions grant, will lead to the removal of the old childcare fence that surrounds the premises. It's replacement, a work of art will be constructed, enhancing and transforming various spaces in and around Jika Jika Community Centre.
Estimated completion October 2024.
Where nature and creativity converge
Rosa's vision for the inaugural arts event at Coolart Wetlands & Homestead in 2025, showcasing creatives from the Mornington Peninsula and beyond, is taking shape.
