"Rosa of Valencia" captures the elegance and cultural depth of early 20th century Valencia through the figure of a woman named Rosa, whose silhouette embodies the spirit of the 1920s. Jeanne M. Connolly’s innovative use of materials is showcased in the collage of old Spanish books that form Rosa’s face, reflecting a deep connection to the literary and cultural heritage of Spain.

Her attire is a patchwork of coppers, blues, and greens, topped with a white floral collar, all meticulously crafted from original floral art painted on textured Mediterranean sand. The striking mosaic background, rendered in gem tones of pinks, purples, blues, oranges, and reds, pays homage to the Modernist movement, particularly the mosaic art that flourished in Valencia during this era.

Mounted on a solid wooden support frame, "Rosa of Valencia" is designed to enhance both the aesthetic and structural quality of the piece. The frame provides durability and stability while adding an elegant finishing touch to the artwork, ensuring that it remains a captivating feature in any collection.

This artwork is a vibrant fusion of history, fashion, and nature, encapsulating Connolly’s distinctive artistic vision.
