Rosemary Tufo
b. 1956, San Francisco ∙ CE artist from 2005 - 2007
From the time she could remember, Rosemary Tufo has been making art. According to Tufo, she used to make greeting cards as a child always with “lots of happy faces.”
During her time at CE, she drew grinning hat-topped heads composed in groups. Her arrangements create movement and an interesting rippling effect. Whether the subject matter was faces, abstracted turtles, or organic shapes, the common characteristic in her work is repetition.
Tufo said she varied the size of the elements based on intuition. This intuition allows for dynamic compositions. Tufo also used papier-mâché, clay, and textiles to create artwork. She enjoyed the process of “getting dirty” with these materials.
