Jann Rosen-Queralt is an inter-disciplinary artist. Her artworks reveal the poetic nature of water, exploring social and ecological relationships and connecting them to universal themes. As a nationally recognized artist, Rosen-Queralt has exhibited artwork and completed dozens of commissions across the US. Notable works include: The Ocean, an installation of sculptures and photographs addressing the cosmic makeup of the sea; Argo, an immersive sculpture with synchronized lights/projection focused on the power of water; and Confluence, a permanent kinetic work celebrating water flow at a water treatment facility.
Recent research and projects include an Artist Research Fellowship to study invertebrates at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. (2018), a grant-funded trip to study Western landscape photographs at the Center for Creative Photography in Arizona (2022) and an exploratory art and science residency aboard a research vessel in the Arctic Circle (2023).
This year, she has self-published her first book, Heart Beating Beneath the Earth, which includes photographs of some of her sculptures alongside written responses from over two dozen individual contributors. Last year, Rosen-Queralt retired from her career as an educator at the Maryland Institute College of Art, where she taught for some 40+ years, and held the position of Director of the Rinehart Graduate School of Sculpture.
