Amy Mothersbaugh Roos (born February 12, 1962) is an American artist and gallerist, owner of the Studio 2091 Gallery located in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. Her gallery exhibits works by local, national and international artists. She is also dedicated to developing the creative skills and promoting the artistic education of young people, notably in the Summit County region of Ohio.[citation needed] An accomplished artist herself, Mothersbaugh Roos was nominated by the Akron Zoo (Akron, Ohio) to execute nine large-scale murals which were completed in April 2012.[1]
Mothersbaugh Roos organized a charitable exhibition in the city of Cuyahoga Falls in November 2010, the "Water Tile Project".[2] It included over three hundred 6" x 6" painted tiles with contributions from ten states and two other countries. This project's objective was to raise money for The Nature Conservancy for Wildlife and Water Reclamation in the Gulf in response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.[3]
Her gallery participates in local activities such as yarn bombing.[4] She also contributed illustrations to a book about octopuses, Eight Arms of Inspiration; copies were sold at her gallery in conjunction with an exhibit featuring her work, Sirens and Sea Maidens.[5]
