Rosi Jory's works are a spontaneous response to what surrounds and moves me: water, woods, rocks, people, interactions, happy-making events.

Mainly self-taught in several creative genres, she has taken workshops and had exhibitions as and when opportunities presented themselves.

Her recent exhibit, SPACE 1999, containing over 100 works, was a celebration of thirty years of art-making. The proceeds went to fund a scholarship trust she set up in 1990 at the Saint John Campus of the University of New Brunswick, for students at that campus who demonstrate strong commitment to their community and to cross-cultural activities.

Her Picto-Coding idea springs from the melding of her art work and her years as a university teacher of German (1965-1997). She wants to build bridges between languages and cultures by showing visually how similar their ways of creating sentences, questions and answers are. To do this, she codes the functions of the words in each language as orange houses (subjects), green locomotives (verbs) and a line of yellow boxes (for all the rest).
