Our Mission
Our mission is to celebrate and share the life, story, and work of Christine Rosamond, leveraging her legacy to inspire and support young artists. From books to art sales to screenplays, we are dedicated to protecting the integrity and value of Rosamond's life and work while making her story accessible to those who need it most.
Christine's journey, marked by overcoming adversity, finding empowerment through art, and celebrating the strength of women, serves as a beacon of hope. We strive to ensure her story inspires young artists, women, and others who have struggled, just as Christine once did without support.
Founded in Carmel By The Sea in 1994, the year Christine passed away, our organization was initially managed by her estate. By 1996, we acquired the rights to her work, ensuring that all proceeds from Rosamond's art benefit not only her legacy but also her daughters.
We are committed to upholding the legacy of Christine Rosamond Benton, providing a platform for her story to be told, her work to be appreciated, and her spirit of resilience and empowerment to continue inspiring future generations. Part of our mission in sharing the Rosamond Collection with the world is to use the artwork to support a wide range of women’s charity efforts. Please reach out to us if you have a woman-centered idea that we can support.
