Rosie Lee's Portrait is a mixed media piece that blends figuration with abstract geometry and layers of printed text. The central figure, Rosie Lee, is painted in gray-scale with a vivid orange halo and dripping paint that suggests both reverence and urgency. Set against a backdrop of newspaper clippings, many in Spanish. The work references immigration, labor, and community struggles. The composition, cut by bold lines and vibrant shapes, mirrors the fragmented yet powerful identity of those navigating migration and cultural survival.
