Neither pure Impressionist nor Realist, Rosalie Sidoti describes her focus in her work. “I’ve always felt fortunate to be able to visually translate the things I love into paintings. Being a classically trained artist, I am guided by the respect and knowledge gleaned from that experience. My academic knowledge gives me guidance for my process. I employ a combination of direct observation and intuitive interpretation.”
Along with being a national award recipient, Rosalie was recently honored with the coveted Alden Bryan Memorial Medal for her work along with awards from prestigious organizations such as the Copley Society.
Rosalie believes in the importance of continued teaching and mentoring and was a Masters Program Supervisor at Tufts University for many years. Rosalie lives on Cape Ann, where natural beauty abounds and is home to her creative inspiration.
Rosalie Sidoti earned her MA and BFA degrees and continued her graduate education for many years though a series of exchange programs with the Ruskin School of Fine Arts, Oxford University, England.
