About Tina Conran-Rothwell
Grand Rapids, MI
“My imagery has conscious and unconscious reality of today’s issues, both visible if observed closely. It relies on the dichotomy of beauty, ugliness, living, dying, rich, poor, always referencing the struggle for balance with the evidence of tension. Because of my involvement with many concerns, issues and organizations, “I feel it my duty to have a voice whether it be through engagement or the visual”
Talented with her fine art skills, Michigan artist Tina Conran-Rothwell has spent the last few years painting, volunteering and donating. Tina interprets ambiguous subtleties of life’s journey.
