Karen Rossi, creator of Fanciful Flights, is a storyteller in metal who creates whimsical sculptures: flying shoppers, orange-haired angels, mermaids with pearls, family trees, picture frames, saloons, menorahs and desk accessories. The playfulness of her sculptures make people feel playful as well.

The quality is welcomed not only by the individuals, but by corporations and hospitals who commissioned her art. Connecticut has made Karen Rossi their first artist-in-residence. Karen's Fanciful Flights art is purchased by art lovers across the world.

About Karen Rossi

Rossi grew up in a family that owns and operates a welding business that catered to the aerospace and medical industries. Although she was imbued with her parents' passion for metal, she had no affinity working to that degree of precision. After college, she studied at the Brookfield Arts Center, the Parsons School of Design, and the Penland School of Crafts. Then, secretly, she learned the craft of welding from a retired welder and created her first work - a detailed sculpture of a trout. Her parents were delighted with this new direction for the family's dedication to metal craft and they have since been the foremost fans of Karen's work.

Rossi's Fanciful Flight studio is an old mill building that stands between a 19th-centuary canal and the Connecticut River. In summer, the studio, with a huge open loading-deck area, hums with the noises of the birds and boats on the river as well as the year-round interior activity, as Karen, her assistants, and young high-school trainees work among welding tools, newly painted pieces, and design areas.
