"The opportunity to share my home, the beautiful island of Sicily, with friends and other artists is the fulfillment of a dream.  The beauty of the Sicilian landscape, along with its rich and colorful history, its incredible food and warm people will find its way into your heart.  Capturing this feeling on canvas will be the experience of a lifetime."  

A graduate of The New York Academy of Art , Rosetta founded Sicily Artist retreats as a way to offer artists a place to study contemporary realism and  plein air painting with acclaimed teachers in a one-on-one setting.  Her hometown of Marsala, in western Sicily is an inspired backdrop for creating and studying  art. Sicily offers a supportive and welcoming community and an idyllic setting that inspires creativity and professional growth.
