CAPTIVATED: Rossin’s Southwest & BEYOND

Ross Rossin grew up watching Western movies. This would not seem unusual, except that was in Bulgaria. Drawing on those memories, he has always wanted to visit Monument Valley. 

 Following a 9-day road trip through the Southwest in 2019 with Booth Executive Director, Seth Hopkins, Rossin was inspired to create a series of paintings. 

 Featuring portraits of people they met and depictions of the lands they encountered the show confirms the American West still has the power to inspire both Americans and those from around the globe. ​
