Sue Rosado  

About the Artist

​

Sue Rosado is a contemporary acrylic painter whose nature-inspired work reflects a lifetime shaped by the landscapes of Northern California, Puerto Rico, Oregon, and Tennessee. Her paintings combine realism and abstraction to explore the natural world, with particular attention to wildlife.

 

Sue's artistic journey began in her youth through the study of painting, art history, and art education. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Universidad Inter-Americana in San Germán, Puerto Rico. After painting landscapes for several years in Puerto Rico, her professional life took her in other directions, including work in the garment industry, bookbinding, and teaching English as a second language and Spanish.

 

Upon retiring, Sue returned enthusiastically to her first love - painting - with a renewed sense of purpose. She continued developing her skills through art workshops with nationally recognized artists including Robert Burridge, Joy Toye, Stephen Quiller, Margot Schulzke, Skip Lawrence, Joan Fullerton, Dawn Emerson, and Linda Kemp.

 

Today, Sue brings these experiences together in an evolving personal style. She uses acrylic paint, expressive color, strong contrasts, varied composition, and increasingly, layered and stencil techniques to capture not only the appearance of nature but also its energy and spirit. For Sue, each painting is a new adventure and an opportunity to celebrate the beauty, variety, and wonder of the natural world.
