Rosalind Welcher grew up, lived, worked and dodged taxicabs among the skyscrapers of New York. As a young artist she did book and magazine illustrations, and designed window displays for some of the Fifth Avenue department stores. Later with her husband she founded Panda Prints, a collection of sophisticated greeting cards that set new standards for the industry. Some of her cards are in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She has also written and illustrated over a dozen books, used copies of which are now being sold on the internet. She has always regarded herself as a commercial artist rather than a "fine" artist, but in addition to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, some of her prints are now in the Mariposa Museum in Peterborough, NH.

She and her husband now live and work on a wooded New Hampshire mountainside whose rocky ledges and tumbling brooks they are maintaining as a natural area and wildlife sanctuary. They are on the town’s Conservation Commission and she writes a monthly environmental column in the town newsletter which is widely read. Unfortunately with the constant assaults on the environment, she has plenty to write about.
