Rosie Sandifer
Rosie Sandifer was born in Columbia, South Carolina, and grew up in Lubbock, Texas. She was sketching and attending art classes while young, but began formal training at Southwestern State University in Oklahoma and at Texas Tech University. She pursued further training at the Ray Froman Portrait Painting School in Cloudcroft, New Mexico, and in Stowe, Vermont, at the Art Students League. After seeing a ballerina sculpture by the renowned sculptor and painter, Edgar Degas, Sandifer was inspired to expand her output to include sculpture.

Her work has been exhibited at numerous museums, including the Fleisher Museum, Tucson Museum of Art, Cincinnati Museum Center, and the National Museum of Wildlife Art.
