Rosalyn Richard’s work has arisen out of a fascination with how recent developments in technology have given us a new way to see and understand the natural world. She is influenced by images from scientific sources such as seismology, micro tectonics, oceanography and theoretical physics. “My interest in using scientific imagery as source material is a means to move into a realm that speaks to our efforts as human beings to make sense and create meaning out of physical phenomena. But I also want to deal metaphorically and contemplatively with issues of memory, perception and the passage of time.” Her work contrast images that that appear to be generated by the latest technology with the sensual and tactile process of drawing and the immediacy of a handmade object.

She received her BFA from Rhode Island School of Design and her MFA from Yale University. She has recently won several awards including a Pennsylvania Council of the Arts Fellowship, The Lindquist Purchase Award at the Delta Small Prints Exhibition, Arkansas State University and the Rosenhouse Award at the Society of American Graphic Artists Members Exhibition. Her work is found in the collections of many museums and corporations and has been exhibited in shows throughout the United States. Her work was included in the 4th Minnesota National Print Biennial and the Sixty Square Inches 14th Biennial Small Print Exhibition at the Purdue University Galleries and she has recently had solo shows at Artemisia Gallery in Chicago, IL and Anita Shapolsky Gallery, New York, NY as well as a solo show at The Print Center in 1996
