I’m a native of Berkshire County, Massachusetts. I come from a large family of six boys; we had abusive parents. I know what being cold and hungry feels like. 

I was drafted out of high school (before graduation), for the Vietnam war. I spent six traumatic years as a sergeant in the marine corps, until the age of 25. That’s when schizoid affective illness arrived. It caused many hospitalizations over the past 50 years, resulting in an honorable discharge and a one hundred percent service-connected disability. 
​
But I’ve always had a sense of a light glowing inside of me, bringing me much happiness. 

I’m relatively uneducated in the world of art in the traditional sense. I’m a primitive, but developed and sophisticated artist. I’ve been doing artwork since the early 1970s. The precision, control, and order of my work makes me feel at ease and safe. 

When it comes to my creativity, God’s my buddy. When doing artwork, I forget the memory of traumatic events in my life. I forget the misery, hardship, and social difficulties that the side effects of my medication causes. The hours fly by quickly while concentrating on the execution of a piece. It’s an enjoyable, untroubled break. A significant time that I cherish and look forward to each time with a lot of enthusiasm and heartwarming anticipation. 

I have 147 pieces of artwork in storage, framed, and never seen before. I’m looking for a manager/agent to help me sell my work. Please contact me at rosecourtstudio@gmail.com or through the button below.
