Internationally known artist Karen Rossi is excited to call Torrington her new home. Rossi's new studio is located in the heart of Torrington in the Allen Building at 27 East Main Street and houses a gallery, showroom, workspace and classroom area.


 Rossi is highly regarded for her original metal sculptures has created more than 500 original characters... celebrating the seasons, holidays, professions, friends and family, children, hobbies and a host of other life-inspired themes. Her whimsical work features metal as well as broken crystals, charms and other embellishments that make them eye catching and unique. 



Rossi is most known for her giftware designs known as Fanciful FlightsTM, which she has licensed to major companies, enjoying worldwide sales. Fanciful Flights are metal caricatures of people adorned by charms that tell the story of a person's hobby or profession.
