The Womyn Behind the Art
Rosemary Miguez is described as many things: a mother, daughter, sister, partner, a womyn. Interwoven through these roles and always present is Rosemary Miguez – the Artist.
Rosemary creates Art pieces which connect the mind and soul, through the eyes – offering an emotional or spiritual experience by inviting deep personal attachment as the viewer beholds the work. By combining Gesso and Sand she is able to harness the light to illuminate shape and shadow revealing the hidden story within the Art.
Words from the artist...
“My attraction to sand begins with Rock. Rocks hold the history of the Earth within them. The sum of all of the rocks’ experiences are crushed over time, thus creating Sand. Every grain of sand is testimony to an ancient world. Born out of this ancient landscape the Spirit of the Rock reflects a deep commitment to honour individual experience. Each painting is a commitment to this uniqueness.

My pieces invite ribbons of light to make their way through the canvas, allowing the viewer to see into the “soul” of each piece. Due to the highly textured aspect of these paintings, these tactile works are inclusive for persons who are blind or visually impaired, inviting them to access the visual beauty of the world around us.
