"My images are from dreams, memories and observations of the world around me.... imaginary versions of myself.

Rovetto expresses her visions through a variety of medium including charcoal, ink, magazine cut-outs, found material, paint and twine. She refers to her work as autobiographical, mostly figurative but not meant to be taken literal. Diverse, introspective, emotive and provocative, she sifts through memories while inviting the viewer to have their own. Her ability to draw informs her work and enables her to be inventive rather then sticking with a signature style. Her images come from dreams, memories and observations of the world.

Draw. Scribble. Twine. Charcoal Sketch. Smear Paint. Collage Crumbly Bible Medical Pages. Photography. Crochet. Found Objects. Mark-Making. Gesture. Intuition. Surprise. Laugh. 

"Local dream-architect Lucy Rovetto, whose distressed figures always seem to be emerging from the mist or flickering out of being. Images of bodies in trouble: acrobats suspended in space, pictures of skinned knees on recycled paper, toy soldiers backlit so dramatically that they look like real doughboys caught in the fog of war."

"Messages of mythos and hidden meaning are thread throughout her artworks. There are leaves to read in her covid-isolation coffee filter collection. Her Circus Pi (Circum Ferre) appears like a stained glass depiction of a psychedelic math saint. Planets,  symbols, dreamscape horses, a galactically -placed fire hydrant… the subjects of her eye are disparate but alike in their strangeness."
