ABOUT ROSE COFIELD

Working primarily in 2D, Rose considers herself an abstract intuitive painter. Adding one layer at a time, she develops her style using color coordination and lines. She also uses geometric pieces, sometimes in the form of painted paper, to add form and dimension. Her blank canvas begins without preconceived notions which allows her instincts and emotions to guide her. This intuitive style encourages her to use creative thinking and experimentation to expand the process.

Born in Brooklyn, NY, Rose Cofield has studied sculpture at New York University, New York, NY and received a grant for Apprenticeship at the The Johnson Atelier Technical Institute of Sculpture, Mercerville, NJ (USA). The Atelier Apprenticeship Program is designed to guide the student in the art of sculpture-casting through foundry work, class work and work on their own art. During her apprenticeship at the Atelier, she assisted in conducting workshops with Atelier staff at both the International Sculpture Conferences in Toronto, Canada and Washington, DC. She also taught sculpture workshops through the South Carolina Arts Commission’s “Artist in Education” program, conducting sculpture workshops in South Carolina schools and art organizations. She studied stone carving in Carrara, Italy at the Corsanini Studio.
