About Rosa Chen
Rosa Chen is a San Francisco-based printmaker whose work draws from traditional woodblock and etching techniques while incorporating contemporary subjects and compositions. Her limited edition fine art prints are known for their exceptional surface quality, tonal range, and quiet authority. Rosa's work is collected widely and has been placed in office environments, libraries, and private collections across the West Coast.
Printmaking is a practice of patience. You carve, you ink, you press, and then you discover what you made. The resistance of the material is part of the process. I have never been able to make the work I intended. I can only make the work the material allows.
