Rosita studied at the Art Students League in New York, under Hans Hoffmann and other outstanding teachers, and later in Mexico at the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes. In Mexico, she studied and worked under David Alfredo Siquieros, one of the greatest muralists of the past century, and followed in the footsteps of well-known artists like Frida Kahlo, Leonora Carrington, and Remedios Varo.
The Mexico art scene enthusiastically welcomed Rosita, a newcomer to the country, with her very first show there in 1965. During the following years, her exhibitions in Mexico City always attracted considerable attention in the media, as these clippings vividly show.
