BACKWATER PASSAGE

MEET THE ARTIST

Rosemary Millette

This extraordinary South Dakota artist has been developing her natural talents and sharpening her skills since she was a young girl. Millette began painting at the age of five and even then found animals were her favorite subjects. Greatly inspired by her hometown hero, David Maass, Millette recalls being in awe of the breathtaking beauty of his artwork and that of other midwest artists. The founders of modern wildlife art continue to influence Millette and she considers their contributions among the most significant in the history of art.
