Rosemary
Miguez has a love for watercolour
painting which began in 2002. She has treasured the water and brush
ever since. Her extensive travels have inspired many scenes and have
resulted in many fine, detailed paintings. She also has a passion
for older buildings and can often be found staring at the old structures
on a sunny day.

Rosemary has a new series she is very
excited about.
"The work presented in this showing has been influenced by
my experiences of the Monument Desert in Nevada, Wyoming, Utah and
Colorado, referred to as the "Four Corners". The landscape's
impression has directed my work towards the tactile."
Combining gesso and sand, desert monuments
come to life on canvas. Rosemary has chosen white on white to explore
the play of light upon the work that adds an element of movement;
each piece has a sense of constant motion. Each painting can be
back lit in a window or by artificial light to render the movement
of light and shadow across the face of the painting, it is this
sense of change and movement with something as still as a painting
which fascinates her. The raised forms of gesso and sand allow the
light to discover the play of shadow in its depths inviting the
eye to explore beyond the surface
These works are inclusive to those
persons who are visually impaired or blind as the pictures are tactile.
"To me the including others who do not have access to the visual
beauty of the world around us, is very important. It is a way of
sharing the shapes and depths of the world around us through touch."
