Artist Statement on Simple Joys:

My work has always been about joy. More than ever in this crazy world, I think it is important to focus on small pleasures and simple fantasies. For this collection I have tried to capture some of my childhood dreams of what would have brought me joy or contentment. I hope this series of paintings will be a gentle reminder of the beauty in simple and small imaginings, and will evoke a childlike gladness.

Barbara Rosene is a jazz vocalist, also a self-taught American painter. Her paintings depict the joyful goings on of everyday life. She is inspired by history and music to create joyful, colorful and vibrant scenes. Her pieces are offbeat, and full of life and it’s idiosyncrasies. 

Barbara has recorded 6 CDs with music from the 1920s and 30s as well as more straight-ahead jazz. Living in New York City, Barbara has had a musical career as vocalist for “Vince Giordano and The Nighthawks”, “The Harry James Orchestra” as well as with her own “New Yorkers”.

Her works are included at group shows at Grinning Byrd Gallery since 1999 in her native, Cleveland, Ohio, and a special showing held at Mezzrow Jazz Club in New York City. In 2016,, her works showed at art fair; XContemporary Miami, and Rosene’s debut solo-show was held at Hudson Fine Art in Hudson, Ohio.
