ARTIST BIO

Holly Rosario is a visual artist, art educator, and curriculum consultant based out of Annapolis, Maryland. She works with children, adults, schools, and organizations to facilitate meaningful art experiences that create connection, foster confidence, and grow creative thinking skills. 

​

Born in upstate New York, Holly spent her childhood exploring its forested terrain. Nuerodivergent and aesthetically curious by nature, Holly was interested in art from a young age. In 2007 she moved to Baltimore to attend the Maryland Institute College of Art where she pursued her Bachelors of Fine Arts in conjunction with a Master of Arts in Teaching. While at MICA, she developed an interest in watercolor, inks, and paper cuts, as well as a passion for art history.

​

As an artist, Rosario’s papercut works and watercolors are inspired by a love of nature on its most minuscule levels, and explore the role of pattern and repetition in the processes of growth and decay. Rosario was an Elementary Art Teacher with Baltimore County Public Schools before becoming an independent teaching artist. She sees her pursuits as artist and educator as inseparably intertwined, and hopes to facilitate transformative learning by sharing her passion for the visual world.
