ART

Rochelle spent her childhood and young adult life drawing and sketching. She spent much of her early adulthood capturing moments on camera and worked for the mayor's office documenting crime in the city. This experience brought her a different level of attention to detail and exposed her to things that have continued to inspire her artwork for years to come.

TECHNIQUE

Rochelle is inspired by classic pieces as well as modern art. She is a life-long learner and continues to enroll in studies at various art schools throughout Manhattan to continue to hone and build her skillset. Rochelle has also dabbled in woodwork, sculpture, and mixed media art. The media she uses most is acrylic, however she also uses water colors, oil, and pastels.
