Rosie Sherman is a Canadian contemporary painter known for her expressive use of colour and intuitive approach to acrylic painting. With over 35 years of experience, Sherman’s work spans florals, landscapes, and figurative subjects—each piece marked by bold hues, rich textures, and an emotive connection to the world around her. Her paintings resonate with collectors who value art that is visually vibrant and emotionally evocative.
Rosie’s process is deeply intuitive and emotionally guided. Working primarily in acrylics for their flexibility and ability to layer, she uses both brush and palette knife to explore texture, movement, and light. Each canvas begins with fluid, loose strokes that evolve into refined and dynamic compositions. Her work reflects not only the beauty of nature and human experience but also the joy of artistic exploration.
Having exhibited in galleries and juried shows across Toronto, Niagara-on-the-Lake, and Florida, her artwork is held in private collections across North America. For the past decade, Rosie has also taught painting, sharing her love of art with emerging artists and hobbyists alike. Through her teaching and creative practice, she continues to inspire others to embrace the transformative power of art.
Whether through vibrant blooms or atmospheric scenes, Rosie Sherman’s paintings offer viewers a portal into joy, wonder, and personal reflection.
