Angels tickle my toes at night Painting

Samantha Rosado is a Puerto Rican, cisgendered, gay woman who works primarily with oil paint on canvas. Though she was drawn to the arts in her youth, she began oil painting after graduating from Mount Holyoke College in 2015. In Summer 2016, Samantha attended a Puerto Rican tiple (guitar) making workshop at Trinity College. She was later offered a Hilla Rebay Post-Baccalaureate Fellowship in Fine Art and Studio Art. At Trinity College, Samantha found interest in the challenge of color, space development and compositional relationships. She carried this interest through her assistantship at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, and her MFA at Louisiana State University. Samantha is a painter, poet, and storyteller. She uses humor in her work to create captivating imagery and rhythm to guide the viewer through a story of directional line and color.
