Mabdelis Rosado

Mabdelis is a Puerto Rican artist born an Army brat. After traveling her whole life she grew to appreciate various perspectives, both in people and environments. This influence can be seen in her strong sense for color and storytelling. She graduated from Ringling College of Art and Design in 2025 with a BFA in Illustration and emphasis in Visual Development.

Overall, her goal is to bring a positive impact with her artwork, highlighting the hidden beauty in life and amplify fellow BIPOC voices. In her spare time she enjoys weightlifting, puzzles, and cuddling with her black cat Owen.
