Roslyn Harrush moved to the Saint John area in 2021 after living in Stratford, Ontario for 17 years. She is originally from Montreal, but had lived in Alberta for 24 years where she raised a family, worked and volunteered. In 1997, Roslyn had the opportunity to return to school and pursue her passion for the arts. She graduated with a B.F.A., majoring in Printmaking in 2001. During that time, she took a watercolour elective which changed her artistic path, and painting became her main focus. Roslyn has enjoyed travelling and has lived in Israel and Columbia. This experience has opened up a new way to see other cultures, meet the people and reflect on their history. Colours and texture play an integral role in her paintings. Roslyn works with different mediums and enjoys playing with the still life genre. Roslyn discovered the art of gardening in Stratford and finds the nature of plants and birds the perfect subject for her paintings.
Support for this Artist-in-Residence program comes from a generous grant from the Saint John Community Arts Board.
