Rosetta Deberardinis

Rosetta DeBerardinis is an abstract expressionist painter whose work needs no narrative. Her paintings merge energy, form, texture, space and color. DeBerardinis paints for a living and lives to paint. Art instruction began for her at age five, when her mother enrolled her in classes at Pratt Institute in New York. Her interest in the creative process continued while obtaining degrees at Vassar College, the University of the District of Columbia and the Universtiy of Baltimore School of Law and the London School for Social Research.
