Rosy Keyser
Rosy Keyser (born 1974 in Baltimore, Maryland, United States) is an American contemporary painter, known for working in large-scale gestural, tactile abstraction.[1] Frequently incorporating found detritus in her work such as beer cans, tarp, and sawdust, Keyser’s work investigates painting and sculpture in a bodily, aggressive way.
