Rosena Finister (RF 126)

ROSENA FINISTER

Born 1944, Sicily Island, Louisiana
Has practiced at Creative Growth since 2007

Rosena Finister makes work that is largely influenced by memories of her life growing up on a farm in Louisiana. Much of her work transposes human social commentary onto animal subjects. Both humorous and cutting, her anthropomorphized characters play out the harmonious and contentious dynamics of family, romance, and community. With an aesthetic nod to Southern folk art, Finister’s paintings are deeply rooted in personal history and African American culture.
