About the artist

Rosy Petri is a mother, self-taught artist, and aspiring multimedia storyteller. Part autobiography, part documentary, her work is about self-discovery, history, and radical Black Joy. Petri was a 2019 finalist in the emerging artist category of the Mary L. Nohl Fellowship awards and a 2018 Milwaukee Artist Resource Network mentee. As the 11th Pfister Artist in Residence in 2019, she created a space to showcase her fabric portraits, record podcast interviews and celebrate traditions of the African diaspora. Petri’s work has recently been featured in shows at the Racine Art Museum, Walker’s Point Center for the Arts, Zhou B. Gallery, and The Trout Museum of Art. Her gestural portrait series “Together” is featured in Northwestern Mutual’s Giving Gallery, and the “MKE WI” series is currently being installed in the Milwaukee County Courthouse outside of the County Executive’s office.
