B.Rossitto is a women painter who paints from the heart, taking the viewer on an exploration of essence and perception. She sees things differently and is constantly studying to improve her perception, composition, and technical skills. She intends to depict more than just the objects in the composition, but also her understanding, feelings, and the essence of the location. "Painting causes her to pause for a moment, allowing her soul to embrace the beauty of nature." Because she enjoys the journey so much, receiving recognition for her art is "icing on the cake."
Barbara pushes herself as an artist to try new techniques and styles. She enjoys the camaraderie of other artists as well as the critique that comes from studying with both local and internationally acclaimed artists.
B.Rossitto studied pastels with master pastellist Claudia Post and watercolor with Tom Lynch, Janet Walsh, Shauna Shane, Frank Fredrico, and others. She studied oil portraiture with Clayton Beck III, Plein air, and still life with Sandra Wakeen, Shauna Shane, and David Lussier/Pamela Simpson (the plein air pair). Her work has been selected for the Northeast Watercolor Society International show as well as the Slater Museum's 67th Connecticut Artists Exhibition. She has received awards from the Essex Art Association for her oil painting, watercolor, photography, and pastel; the Madison Art Society and the Wethersfield Art League for her watercolors; and the West Hartford Art League and the Audubon Society for her photography.
