Rose D’Amato (b. 1991, Whittier, CA) is a pinstriper and painter living and working in San Francisco, CA. As a second generation sign maker, she is drawn to decorative folk arts, hand-lettering, and the iconic imagery tied to her upbringing and family history of pinstriping and lettering. She is motivated by her intention to learn and implement techniques of handmade modes of production and by doing so explore her artistic lineage. She attended the San Francisco Art Institute and received a BFA in painting in 2016, and afterwards apprenticed and worked at New Bohemia Signs. D’Amato continues to work independently as a painter and has been the Adjunct Professor of Hand lettering at CCA since 2019. Currently she is the Headlands Center for the Arts Tournesol Awardee for 2023-2024 and an SFMOMA 2024 SECA awardee. Their work has been featured in publications including Juxtapoz Magazine and Anna Magazine Japan. Rose is working towards upcoming exhibitions at BAMPFA, SFMOMA, UC Santa Barbara, Charlie James Gallery, and House of Seiko.
