About Rosa Vera

Rosa Inés Vera is an award-winning artist whose paintings are in private collections in the US and overseas, as well as the permanent collection of the National Institutes of Health. She paints using acrylic, watercolor, collage and oil as media. Her work has appeared in national magazines such as the Watercolor Magic Magazine and Watercolor Artist Magazine. Her paintings appear in the books, The Artistic Touch 4 and Splash 12: Artistic Vision. She was a finalist in theThe Artists Magazine 25th Annual Art Competition.

She has taken courses at the Corcoran School of Art and Design, the Southwest School of Art, and the Art League of Alexandria in addition to a number of workshops with instructors such as Skip Lawrence, Gerald Broomer, George James, and Carrie Burns Brown. Rosa began painting in watercolor and oils but now also uses collage and acrylic to provide more flexibility and add to the texture and design of the work. Although the means of expressing the subjects varies from painting to painting and over time, there is a common theme that ties all of the work together.

In some of her current work, she is exploring colors, symbols, figures, and proverbs to express her search to understand her family roots and cultural values.
