rosanne Stavola

I am drawn to color, texture and light, finding inspiration in landscapes, architecture and still lifes. I am an oil painter with a desire to capture the essence and experience of my subject. My palette and lines are influenced by the impressionists. Born in Connecticut, I relocated several times, always returning to New England, The variety of landscape, changing seasons and a strong feeling of home has me settling in. I think of my life’s journey as a diverse path, sometimes as a cat with nine lives.

For me the recent experience of standing in a Palazzo in Ravello Italy painting the community church brought together two lifetime dreams. Getting lost in the process of painting where time and external noise fall away has come to feel essential. I appreciate the unspoken conversation one has upon viewing art and the unique voice of each artist.
