Amy Mothersbaugh Roos

Amy Mothersbaugh Roos (born February 12, 1962) is an American artist and gallerist, owner of the Studio 2091 Gallery located in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.
She is the younger sister of Devo co-founders Mark Mothersbaugh and Bob Mothersbaugh.
Mothersbaugh Roos has been an important element of the Ohio cultural landscape. Her gallery, Studio 2091, exhibits artwork by Ohio artists as well as both national and international artists, with a strong focus on whimsy, creative processes and originality. 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. An accomplished artist herself, Mothersbaugh Roos was recently nominated by the Akron Zoo (Akron, Ohio) to execute nine large-scale murals which are scheduled for completion in April 2012.

Mothersbaugh Roos's importance in the art community is also reflected in her work organizing multiple charitable exhibitions for the City of Cuyahoga Falls. The "Water Tile Project" is a current exhibition which includes over three hundred 6" x 6" painted tiles realized by an international panel of artists. This project's objective is to raise money for The Nature Conservancy for Wildlife and Water Reclamation in the Gulf.
Amy M. Roos's large scale mural project for The Akron Zoo is nearly completed and now encompasses 30 panels and 10,000 feet of wall space. The murals and 'The Journey to the Reef' exhibition will be open to the public on May 26.

The large mural project is in place at the Akron Zoo alongside 18 aquariums and more than 40 species of sea life. Mothersbaugh Roos designed 10,000 square feet of murals depicting sea creatures and giving the illusion of underwater habitation. The project entailed 1,500 hours of work and was completed by Mothersbaugh Roos and a team of artists from the Cuyahoga Falls Community. The exhibition will be on view at The Akron Zoo for 4 to 5 years.
