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 Cape Fear Studios in Fayetteville, NC, Artworks Sampson in Clinton NC, Arts Council of Moore County in Southern Pines, NC, and Karen Saks Showroom in Raleigh, NC
