As editor in chief at Western Art & Architecture, I came to rely on Rosemary Carstens not only for her clean, artful prose, but as the generator of thoughtful and inventive story ideas. Rosemary has a wide breadth of knowledge and is well connected in the Western art world; she knew on instinct what stories to pitch, who to connect with and when to place them for maximum effect. Her steady skills and constant professionalism made my job easier and her talent and kindness made it a pleasure.
