The artwork of 青涩直播 resident Jean Rosen is currently on display at Dupr茅 Library at the University of Louisiana at 青涩直播.
Rosen's artistic interest in capturing the music of mainly Zydeco and Creole musicians on canvas is the focus of the exhibit, which is entitled 鈥淔ifteen Years of Cajun and Zydeco Music: A Personal View,鈥 that will be on display through the end of May.
Using oils, acrylics, watercolors, pen and ink and colored pencils, Rosen's colorful works reflect her admiration for the musicians and their music.
Originally from Washington D.C., Rosen first experienced a mixture of Zydeco, Creole and Cajun music through her participation in international folk dancing in 青涩直播, Calif. She moved to 青涩直播, La., five-years ago. 鈥淚 am happy to be in Acadiana. It is a treasure to be here,鈥 she states. 鈥淎rt is my life.鈥
Rosen has exhibited at Columbia University, Alabama State University, the Zigler Museum, the Masur Museum and the Berkley Art Center. Her painting 鈥溓嗌辈 Alive 2005鈥 was selected for the Southern Open Biennial. Two of her other pieces recently traveled to New York and are now in Boston as part of a juried show.
The exhibit at Dupr茅 Library is free and open to the public.
