MANIAC art Rozzi’s mother is, as she says, “a good soul,” and in Adrienne’s eyes, the ultimate woman of power. Being raised with two brothers, Adrienne’s mother always made sure that she was proud to be a girl. Initially, when Rozzi showed her mom the art that she was creating, she admits that mom was a bit skeptical saying, “Adrienne, can’t you just draw something pretty?” But in Rozzi’s eyes, “Skulls, and what they symbolize, are pretty!” Outside of the studio, Rozzi was very excited to talk about her involvement with Girls Rock! Pittsburgh. This organization uses music (and art) as an empowerment program for female youths of all definitions,abilities and backgrounds. She helped the girls create custom patches (one of her signature pieces) that were emblazoned with the saying she lives by: “Be Yourself.” Check out Adrienne Rozzi’s shop at www.etsy.com/ people/PoisonAppleStudios and prepare to be spellbound.
