Roslynd Messinger is an award winning abstract expressionist painter. A native New Yorker, she now lives and has her studio in South Florida. Her early inventiveness with color and texture led to a successful career as a fashion and textile designer, with her creations featured in national publications. Her education in fine art at Parson’s in New York prompted the notable Avron Soyer, her mentor, to describe Roslynd as an “illusionary artist.” Her sensitive expressive style communicates her humanistic ideals.
A professional member of Boca Museum Artist Guild, Broward Art Guild and Florida Artists, she has exhibited in museums, libraries and colleges, in addition to the prestigious Hortt Competition at the Carone Gallery. Roslynd’s work has recently been enthusiastically critiqued by chief curator Bonnie Clearwater of The Museum Of Contemporary Art. The past president of the Miami Art League calls Roslynd’s small paintings “small gems.”
Artist’s Statement
As an artist I perceive the world in all its variety and contradictions: its beauty, its struggles. My art is my medium for expressing my perceptions and reactions. I see the landscape of the world as abstract in shadow, form, line, and color. Images of what is not there are as important as what is. It is the mystery, the surprise, the unexpected discovery in my paintings that challenges the viewer to search for the elements that complete the
“story“ in each work.
