Artists
Rose Kennedy
Growing up in southeastern North Carolina, Rose Kennedy was surrounded by beauty from
the mountains to the coast, instilling a heartfelt tie to earth and nature that inspire her still.
Drawing and painting were her favorite pastimes, so continuing artistic ventures into
adulthood was a given. Rose previously worked as a product/graphic designer and also with
an art publisher/licensing agency creating water color/mixed media paintings in the juvenile
genre.
Rose now enjoys creating original paintings of landscapes, still life and the occasional pet
portrait. Her preferred medium is oil paint, but she shakes things up by sometimes working
with pastels or acrylics. Her impressionistic style conveys a sense of presence in her paintings
and she loves sharing her work with those who appreciate art. Painting outdoors in plein air
events affords her much pleasure, as does teaching others the joy of art.
Rose works from a home studio and also at Cape Fear Studios in Fayetteville, NC. Her work
has been juried into numerous exhibits and competitions, winning awards along the way.
Several of her works are featured in the publication Painting North Carolina, A Visual Journey.
in Charlotte/Raleigh
Her paintings may be seen on her website at www.lilarosekennedy.com, and at One-of-AKind Gallery in Pinehurst, Cape Fear Studios in Fayetteville and Karen Saks Design Showroom
