A native of Austria, raised in Germany, Beatrix Rohlsen now lives in the mountains above Santa Barbara. An abstract painter, her "atmospheric landscapes" reflect nature's ever-changing and diverse landscapes through an abstract array of color, light and design.
"My greatest teacher as a child was the natural world around me," Rohlsen says. "Therefore, as an adult, I found myself incorporating the essence of nature throughout most of my paintings."
Rohlsen's paintings will be presented as part of an ongoing "Foyer Focus" series, at the entry to the Center.
