Rosa is passionate about public art, graphic design, the urban space, and social justice.

ARTIST STATEMENT
I experience art both as a tool to and the result of sharing authenticity in a world that doesn’t always allow it. As a queer immigrant artist fortunate to build community in Utah, I work to develop creative communication – verbal and visual – as a powerful and essential advocacy tool for belonging and fear deconstruction. I express my enthusiasm for self-discovery and my deep curiosity for humanity through painting, design, architecture, and poetry – all of which I have the pleasure to share occasionally with the local community with the hope to create expanding dialogues.
