Welcome to Rose and Shadow


I'm Rissa, the artist behind Rose and Shadow. Welcome to my studio. If you're into fantasy, nature, or magic you are in the right place. Many of my creations will have this theme. Currently my focus is on creating paintings and table top miniatures. However, in true artist form, creations in different mediums may pop up now and again as my past work ranged from everything from jewelry to leatherwork.

This homepage is set up as a portfolio of my current and past work. Take a look around and find something that speaks to you.

In the upper left corner there is a navigation menu. Thanks for taking the time to appreciate my art.

In The Works...

The nature of oil painting is very slow as oil paint has to cure properly before it can be varnished and shipped. So new products don't drop often. I have set up this little section to show a few things still on and fresh off of the easel as a little peak behind the curtain. These pieces are waiting for finishing touches, varnish or deep in progress. If you would like to purchase directly from the easel feel free to contact me.

Yellow Rose

This yellow rose oil painting is almost ready. It may end up with some tweaks in color or contrast before its set to rest and be varnished.

Working in a garden center, I am surrounded by beauty everyday and these flowers are like snippets of my memories.

Sunorita Rose

14x14 Oil on Round Canvas

This piece captures a variety of rose called the Sunorita Rose. This one flower stood out as it has the most unsual explosion of color. She is done and waiting for a signiture and varnish.

Pink Rose

14x14 Oil on Round Canvas

This rose was actually from a variety of rose called peachy drift and I had to paint the way the color shifted though the petals.
She is done and waiting for a signiture and varnish.

White Rose

This rose called to me when I walked by and I knew I wanted to paint a new rose for the logo. The rose in the logo of Rose and Shadow represents the rosa mundi, the rose of the world and is a symbol of the universe and Divine Consciousness. The shadow is just that, that shadow, as the dark is needed for the light to shine.
