Description
A visit to Jane Rosen's ranch in Northern California reveals the inspiration for her art. Originally from New York, Rosen found herself drawn to the light of the California coast. The deer, hawks, horses, and dogs that populate her work represent Rosen's hopes for a humanity that is intuitively aware and close to its inner nature.

Rosen feels that the ritual process of making art opens the artist to experiencing the moment and entering a purer state of being. This understanding informs her art and gives each work its psychological complexity. Rosen's drawings develop spontaneously and often begin with coffee or ink stains. Her sculptures for the wall are multilayered in their use of materials from marble dust to gypsum and willow branches to horse hair. In her newest work Rosen explores the tactile and expressive possibilities of limestone by working with architectural remnants.
