Freelance artist, instructor, and advocate of the arts
Rosemary Cantu is originally from El Paso, Texas. She has a BFA from Texas A&M at Corpus Christi and received her Masters at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro. She has been a lifelong advocate for the arts, volunteering at Title One schools, working at art camps, painting murals, and giving back to her community. Cantu has been living in Houston, Texas since 2002. She has exhibited her sculptures and drawings in national and juried shows. On Cantu’s free nights, she enjoys doing meditative one-hour blind contour drawings of musicians that inspire her work and playing with clay.
Artist Statement :
In my sculptures and drawings, I seek to capture the essence of emotions, translating the emotions and energy of music into form and lines. Whether it's a meditative line in a blind contour or the interplay of instruments and figures , each piece is a visual story that echoes the soul-stirring power of music.
Music serves as my muse, igniting a creative fire within me and guiding my artistic vision. Every genre and note has the potential to spark inspiration and fuel my imagination.
Through my art, I aim to invite others into this convergence of my passion and visual expression, inviting them to experience the profound connection to music.
