I spent a lot of time and effort trying not to be an artist – even completing an entire Ph.D. in neuroscience. After taking time off work to have kids, I realized that what I missed wasn’t science, but the creative work I had been telling myself could only ever be a hobby. For the past several years, I have been focusing on painting.

Q&A
Are your paintings for sale?
In general, yes. If the painting is currently in a show, you should contact the gallery about it. Otherwise, email me about it.
What materials and tools do you use?
Most of my paintings are made with oil paint, some with a homemade egg and oil medium. I mostly buy Gamblin paints. I use lots of different surfaces, but my current favorite is wood panels.
My illuminated manuscript style work is done with iron gall ink (I use McCaffery’s Penman’s black), quill pen, G-nib pen, and egg tempera paint (I used the Sennelier premixed egg tempera, although I keep thinking about buying pigments and mixing my own paint…) on Pergamenata parchment paper.
My digital art is mostly done with Procreate on my iPad, but for some things I use Clip Studio Paint.
Crochet, sewing, or other fiber arts projects probably have a blog post with materials listed.
Do you use AI?
I do not use generative AI for any part of my creative work. Paintings, blog posts, and other creative projects are all done with my own brain and hands from beginning to end (I do use photo references, rulers, spellcheck, and similar tools, but I feel best when the ideas and decisions come from me, not a computer). However, I did use AI to help migrate my website from one platform to another.
How do you pronounce “Derosier”?
I don’t speak any French, so I usually say it in the most American way possible. But if you would like to make it sound pretty and French, please go ahead!
