ARTIST STATEMENT

My photography first and foremost merges with who I am. Those I love animate and inanimate. All that lives outdoors could become subject to my acknowledgement.

I captured images in earnest since 2013. In those short twelve years my photographs reflect emotions of frustration, sadness, and joy to name a few. By default, my archival pigmented photographs document some of what is, was, and could be.

I also welcome you to the preverbal viewing table. Starting with my personal new year portfolio, Charmed by the Desert, you could join me on my walks through nature. This series begins with some water images, Adrift and Maiden Stardom, and ends with Speechless.

Rita Fitzsimmons sums up my efforts in an endorsement summary: Rosella Mosteller’s black and white images of the natural world are stunning in their composition and elegance. With her technical ability and sharp attention to detail, she captures singular moments in time…images that have the power to enrich anyone who views her work. _____Rita Fitzsimmons, Designworks
