Rose D’Amato

Explore how Rose D’Amato’s paintings bring her surroundings and personal history to life. As a second-generation sign painter, she works within the traditions of hand-painting and pinstriping, drawing inspiration from the street signs that tell stories of her community. At a time when technology increasingly overshadows handmade art, D’Amato's contribution to the 2024 SECA Art Award exhibition emphasizes the enduring importance of human touch in creative expression.
