Biography
Rosine was born and raised in Paris, France, and immigrated to the United States in her teen years. Rosine is a trained Art Therapist and she completed a Ph.D in Transpersonal Psychology from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology in Palo Alto in 2005.
Creativity and art-making are essential to her well-being; they energize all aspects of her life, and provide an effective vehicle for self-expression as well as a way of connecting to her inner source. Her favorite medium is collage/mixed media but she also enjoys painting, monotype, quilting, hand knitting and other creative activities such as photography, and playing the guitar. She and her husband have three children, and live in Palo Alto, California.
In her own words...."“My life is a complex multicultural quilt, and everything I create begins with small bits and pieces of fabric, yarn, paper, and other found objects, that eventually come together to form a cohesive and integrated whole. My process is mostly about the journey to create and seldom about the product created. There are few rights and wrongs and the space is open for inquiry and exploration, with full self permission to try anything and take wild chances, to make messes, and to dare juxtapose strange elements and get them to play together in new ways. As the process begins, I slip into the "flow" or "zone" as artists like to call it, and for me it is a blissful place where colors, line and shapes dance, where everything is perfectly aligned and unfolding as it should. As the piece takes shape, my imaginary conversation with it begins as I allow it to reveal itself to me.”
