OSEMARY GILLETT lives and maintains her atelier in Winter Park, Florida. Her paintings depict her avid passion for Tuscany in Italy. Gillett's training began in Dallas and Houston, Texas. She was a student of Jeramire McAgiee, former publisher of "Art in America" and advisor to Francoise and Domonique de Menil. Study of the de Menil private collection brought Gillett under the influence of Georges Braque and Mark Rothko. This study was a major influence in Gillett's life.

In 1965, Gillett settled in FLorida and pursued a career in interior design, collaborating with architects in high-end contemporary design. her corporate and residential interiors won numerous awards from The American Institute of Architects and The American Society of Interior Design. By the 1980's, her projects were a reflection of Contemporary Italian design, influenced by Gillett's trips to the Salon de Mobile in Milan.

In 1990, Gillett decided to pursue her painting, which was really her first love. She reached a turning point in her painting technique -- using the rake as her tool, creating line and texture with controlled dripping. Gillett's work has appeared in numerous exhibitions in New York, Palm Beach, Florence, Italy, and Salzburg, Austria.
