artist profile
Rose Marie Roy
Oil, Acrylic, Watercolour
I am a fine arts painter who works in oils, acrylics and watercolour. After a career at Queen’s Park in Toronto, I turned to my first love, literature and I became a published author and poet. Then, wanting to explore other facets of the art world I turned to painting and found joy in the many challenges.
The Rideau River offers many inspirational settings which can be found in the various collections on my website. The play of light on water, herons, waterlilies, the ultimate Canadian scene, sunlight on freshly fallen snow. I feel a personal connection to the beautiful swans that once made the Rideau River their home, gracing us with their presence. My work in the “Swan Songs” collection pays homage to their beauty that was part of the river’s landscape.
Delving into my Mediterranean roots brings warmth and vitality to my work. Moments are captured in photos.. the old patina on an espresso coffee pot, an ancient earthen pot placed near a doorway looking out to sea are an inspiration to paint. Painting is an effort to see what can be translated from what the eye perceives. I feel very strongly that there is so much beauty in our everyday world and my aim is to share that vision of beauty with my viewers in a visual conversation. I invite you to step into my world.
Please direct any inquiries to me at [email protected]
My work can be found in private collections in Toronto, Montreal, Victoria, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and London, England.
