G. Rosa-Rey is a Brooklyn, New York-based visual artist. Conceptually, Rosa-Rey’s use of materials is informed by the Puerto Rican diasporic consciousness in the wake of Operation Bootstrap.
Born in Isabela, Puerto Rico, Rosa-Rey and her family migrated to Hartford, Connecticut in the late 1950s. In the early 1970s she relocated to New York City to study fine art at Pratt Institute. She continued her graduate studies in the same field at Columbia University School of the Arts. Her first solo show, a region in the mind: terrenos y cuentos was presented in 2023 at Hidrante in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
