Avaulte Artist Roxanne Grooms currently has a work/live loft in California. She is involved with the North County Painters Community and the effort to build an arts district in and around Southern California. Roxanne finished her fine arts degree with a concentration in drawing and painting from the University of Minnesota. She studied and learned from faculty members, Herman Somberg (from the "Cedar Bar - Franz Kline" days) as well as Victor Caglioti, Tom Rose, Tom Lane, Jody Williams, George Creamer and Andrew Leicester, to name a few. Simultaneously, she pursued Corporate America in the graphic arts realm. That experience has enhanced a professional discipline and commitment to her fine art.
