Room For Whimsy
Art by Rosemary Ivanye Skocdopole

Artist, mom, lover of whimsy
Hi! I'm Rosie.
I grew up in a home where creativity flowed freely - one of four artistically curious sisters, with parents who nurtured imagination at every turn. I graduated from Kent State in 1985 with a degree in Studio Art and a minor in Art Therapy. While raising my three children, I painted room murals for clients and decorators, and for the past 25 years I’ve woven creativity into my role as an Activity Director.
I’ve shown my work in various exhibitions - from a solo show at West Woods Nature Center to community shows at Door 2 Studio - and I still love creating and encouraging others. On Wednesday evening you can find me at Door 2 Studio in Hudson, sharing art alongside my adult son Ash.


Commissions
I create and sell original paintings and also offer personalized commissions. If you’ve been imagining a piece that reflects your world or story or a loved one (whether human or furry!), I'd love to help bring it to life. Just send me a message - I can’t wait to explore your project with you.
