ROSA DEST
I draw inspiration from several aspects from my life including my Colombian heritage, travels abroad and a love for nature. The birth of my first grandchild inspired me to take a leap of faith and commit to painting full time after working as an interior designer for 25 years in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.
I love to paint plein air whenever possible as it pushes me to focus on the light and looseness of my subject. I also paint in oils in my studio from my sketches, original photographs and plein air studies I have done.
