AWAKENING

Ms. Barrett comes from a long line of artists and craftsmen who exposed her to ideas and techniques that have influenced her sculpture and painting. Art is important in the Barrett family and Rosemary’s love and exploration started early. Awards in High School and College include a full Ford Foundation Scholarship and various museum scholarships.Assemblage is among Ms. Barrett’s early accomplishments. They explore poetic themes with found objects arranged in delicate boxes. In the Joseph Cornell tradition they exemplify the power of duality and extemporaneous fusion. The influence of assemblage is evident in her sculpture and painting as well.
