Rosemary was born in Bridgeport, CT in 1944. She began an apprenticeship at the young age of 7 with the renowned watercolorist Woldemar Neufeld. Rosemary then went on to receive a bachelor of fine arts degree from Pratt Institute. Upon graduation, Rosemary worked as an art director at New York advertising agency J. Walter Thompson Co. In1 966 Rosemary began exhibiting her works in oil, watercolor and acrylics throughout New York and New England.
Rosemary went on to gain worldwide recognition by virtue of her harmonious paintings being exhibited in galleries, public institutions and museums inclusive of works in the permanent collections of The National Arts Club in N.Y.C., The New Britain Museum of American Art, The New Milford Historical Society, The Springfield Art Museum and The Slater Memorial Museum.
Rosemary's body of work conveyed a sense of peace, calm and presence as she truly believed that the creation of art was a transcendent, fixating experience, beyond time and space. For her, self-fulfillment was found in creating art.
As a proud member of one of New Milford, Connecticut's founding families, Rosemary was a longstanding contributor of her art and time to the local community for fundraising and to increase public awareness of the arts.
