Artist-in-Residence: Rose Jeon

Rose Jeon

Meet our newest Artist-in-Residence at The Foundry in Denton, MD! 

Rose Jeon is a talented illustrator hailing from Marydel, MD. Rose currently resides in Greensboro and is excited for the opportunity to be a full-time artist for the next 3 months at The Foundry. During this time Rose will receive a working wage and art supplies stipend thanks to support from the Caroline County Council of Arts and the Maryland State Arts Council.

Portraits with strikingly realistic details and minimal use of color are amongst Rose’s favorite subjects to delve into. “I find faces exciting and challenging. I am drawn to the unique–whether big, bright eyes, an angular structure of a cheek or jawline, or freckles. I take common shapes we all learn in elementary and create a face. I find it fascinating when the face starts to pop out at me through the drawing, which is my favorite part of the process.” Rose’s subjects range from local friends and muses to celebrities in the movies and music industries.

Rose attended the Delaware College of Art and Design, studying and learning to perfect skills in color theory, painting, and collaging. Rose enjoys creating monochromatic art; exploring texture, shape, contrast and design within each piece.

“To quote Michelangelo regarding his sculpture works, ‘Every block of stone has a statue inside it, and it is the sculptor’s task to discover it.’ I want my art to be able to touch anyone, and I want to create art for everyone.”

Rose Jeon will be The Foundry artist-in-residence from mid-September thru mid-December. Keep an eye out for monthly “Open Studio” opportunities where the public is invited to meet the artist, delve into the creative process, and view the current works underway.

I use a variety of wood to create wall hangings, signs, etc. I have used scrap repurposed wood of various types, various shapes of basswood bought at a craft store, pine wood purchased from Lowes, and pine plaques that I found in my Aunt’s shed when I was cleaning it out to be sold. I prefer working with basswood, but I can’t turn down a free wood framed bed left over from a yard sale.

I started with a beginner burning pen before I really knew others existed. I now use a pen that has 5 interchangeable tips. Each tip serves a different purpose and can be used to create a variety of textures.

The important thing to remember is pyrography is not etching. Etching is done by a computer and can make multiple copies of each design. Pyrography is done with a very hot pen that burns the design into the wood. Each design is never done the same way more than once.
