As a Designer I have created for fashion, print, and marketing material. Whether the design is for canvas, fabric, or paper applications, the necessary planning and execution, challenges and motivates me. The process is usually the larger part of the battle. Great design is timeless! It's incredible to look at my past designs and to find that they are still relevant today.

A Grand Zoological Fantasy
On December 13th, 2018, Forest Hills Northern High School Orchestra (under the leadership of Director, Dr. Mark Kotchenruther), and Rosanne Coty, Artist/Designer (Sponsor) presented The Carnival of the Animals. It was a one-night only production that featured Rosanne's artwork in poster, program, slide, and set decoration form. Mrs. Coty worked with students to paint the props, and the slideshow featured artwork from students from the feeder elementary schools in addition to her own.
It was a wonderful collaboration between professionals and students!
