Born (1962- ) in Barcelona, Spain, Rosa Maria Morató Roig enjoyed drawing and art since she was a child.

In the eighties, she studied and worked as an art model for students, teachers, and artists at the Universidad de Barcelona. A decade later, while working as a freelance illustrator, Rosa Maria participated in numerous individual and collective exhibitions in cafes, galleries, and social centers. During this period she won several poster competitions in Catalonia.

Between 2000 and 2010, a period of great personal transformation, Rosa Maria traveled to India, walked the Camino de Santiago, and explored regions of her native Spain and Catalonia. She lived in the medieval towns of Santa Coloma de Queralt and Igualada, becoming involved in the cultural life there by exhibiting her work, teaching art classes (primarily for children), and storytelling.

After returning to Barcelona in 2010, Rosa Maria has focused on creating collections of handmade art cards for several independent shops and private customers in Spain and the United Kingdom and for the online digital print and greeting card company, GreetingsWithHeart.com.

Rosa Maria’s most recent project has been to illustrate the children’s book: Francisco and Gabriel’s Blue Moon Adventure ©2014.
