Painting with a vivid palatte and playfully childlike two-dimensional images, Rosina Wachtmeister creates easily approchable art that is a celebration of the simple joys of life. Born in Vienna, Wachtmeister studied art in Brazil and now resides outside of Rome with her menagerie of dogs, pelicans, peacocks and, of course, cats. World-renowned for her brilliant colors, strong shapes and endearing, whimsical images, Wachtmeister paints, draws, sculpts, illustrates and writes books. Her engaging images are also featured on home décor accessories, jewelry, figurines and kitchenware.
