Rose Kennedy

  The Parade of Homes Call for Art Winner

  Earning a degree in commercial art, Rose Kennedy began her career as an artist/graphic designer for a home décor manufacturer. She also worked with an art publisher for eighteen years, producing art prints for children that were distributed nationwide to galleries, frame shops and other retail merchants. Her many licensed designs include art reproduced as wallpaper, gift wrap, needlework, greeting cards and book illustration. These combined experiences have helped her become a very versatile artist, capable of working in different styles and mediums.  Rose now creates original oil and pastel paintings, which can be seen locally at her home studio or at Cape Fear Studios, where she is an exhibiting member artist.  Her work is also available at Olde Town Gallery in Fayetteville, and Sunset River Marketplace in Calabash.  Rose is a member of the Southeastern Pastel Society.

   As a lifelong resident of the Sandhills area, I find inspiration for my paintings surrounding me daily. Living in a rural area of CumberlandCounty, many of my paintings have been created from scenes near my own home. Watching the interplay of light and shadow across the landscape provides a fascinating and ever changing display. Interpreting this brilliance of light and the nuances of shadow in a painting are an intriguing challenge.”

This project is supported by the Arts Council in part by contributions from businesses and individuals, and through grants from the City of Fayetteville, CumberlandCounty and the North Carolina Arts Council, an agency of the Department of Cultural Resources.
