About The Artist

Still a teenager she became part of Moscow alternative cultural scene of the 1980’s. Later she immigrated to the U.S. She lived in New York in the 90’s being a part of what later became The Art Alliance program on Lower East Side. Rozenman received her BFA from SUNY in 1993. Later she relocated to Boston and received an MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in 1998.
