Wild Rosie
Rockland - “Art was my childhood home. I grew up within a world that was brimming with design and singing loud with color. I think above all, it taught me to notice, to deeply appreciate, and to find joy in the tiniest of moments.”
Born into a family of artists in the woods of midcoast Maine, Nina Devenney has been making art with her own two hands for as long as she can remember. She is devoted to the joy she has seen in others when they create— Nina was a teacher for over 10 years and worked with children of all ages and abilities and adults with developmental differences.
The dyes used by Wild Rosie are both purchased color pigments as well as self-harvested botanical dyes. Each process is different and has it’s own unique quirks and magic. The tea towels are then printed, either with Nina’s illustrations, or by hand, one at a time, with hand-carved block prints.
