[1] In the early 1970s, when Rosamond's name was a household word, it was extremely unusual for a woman to rise to this kind of prominence in the art scene.
John's artwork was chosen twice to tour the world in a Red Cross show, when he was thirteen, and again when he was sixteen.
Rosamond purchased a projector and according to her ex-husband, Garth Benton, employed images of models she cut out from fashion magazines, then broadcast them on empty canvas.
Nevertheless, her immense talent, combined with the climate of the era and the 1970s feminist zeitgeist, had Rosamond selling millions of her paintings around the world.
Solomon commissioned painters for lithographs, and in this environment where Rosamond's art was not only appreciated but celebrated, she experienced her most meteoric rise to fame of her young career.
Rosamond had a falling out with her brother John when he met her new husband, Richard Partlow, a Grammy-winning foley artist.
Just weeks after Rosamond's last art expo in 1994, she was invited to stay in a famous home twenty miles south of Carmel at Rocky Point.
On March 26, 1994, Rosamond, her sister, Vicki Presco, her son, Shamus Dundon, and Christine's daughter, Drew Benton, were getting ready for a party that Stacey Pierrot was going to attend.
