MEASURE 17" BY 21" INCHES. In 1972 at an art street bazaar in Los Angeles, a shy young artist, entirely self-taught, displayed her first two oil paintings. Within six months she achieved national acclaim. Those of you who may not recognize her name will recognize her style. By 1976 she had become the most published artist in the world eclipsing such legendary artists as Norman Rockwell and Salvadore Dali. Her published works sold in the millions - more than any other artist dead or alive. Thus, it is said that she met with historical notoriety and overnight success. At the age of 25, Rosamond was a major player in the art world, and one of few women ever to succeed in it. Rosamond's next step was to form her own publishing and distribution company in order to have greater control of her artistic decisions. Soon after the first lithographs were published under her own company, Rosamond spent four months in Paris w she completed four new lithographs with the prestigious Atelier Mourlot. These Parisian works are still available and titledThe Observations Suite.Since 1974 Rosamond has published over 40 limited editions and the plan is to continue to publish the late artist's works. Her paintings, noted for their negative space, economy of line and purity of subject matter immediately struck a chord with the public.

A disagreeable childhood and a closeted talent manifested early in the kind of art presumed ripe for street fairs, yet quickly was discovered by a publisher who would expose the young artist's paintings to the world. By the early 1970's, Rosamond's work became a household image, selling by the millions as posters, limited editions and original art. At the time, she was branded the "most published artist in the world." "Rosamond prints launched many galleries that are still in business today," said Stacey Peirrot, who now publishes her work. "Her artwork crystallized the emergence of women from their traditional roles. She expressed herself as she was evolving as a woman or individual; perhaps she was surprised to realize that American society was evolving along with her."
