ARTIST BIO

Renee Rossiter is a photographer residing in Sarasota, Florida. Her sole focus with

her photography is composite work that portrays her vision of escapism. Rossiter's

backgrounds are museum settings and architectural masterpieces that have survived

to our day, providing a backdrop for her composites. Composite elements include

harlequins, balloons, confetti, natural phenomenon, flowers and wild animals. All

these elements are arranged to provide a tantalizing, celebratory, surrealistic fantasy

world away from the banality of life's cycles of eating, working and sleeping.

Rossiter believes that art dignifies humankind by elevating them above the animal

kingdom. She states; " Art is the expression of the marvels of our human mind and

imagination. It transcends time and carries over to the next generation to inspire,

touch our emotions, energize our creative forces, to find beauty, personal satisfaction

and a sense of accomplishment. When I walk into a museum and see the masterpieces

of artists I admire, I feel grateful to be human and thankful to have the capabilities

of interpreting these beautiful pieces and also creating them myself. I feel inspired

and driven to fulfill my own artistic expression."
