Contemporary surrealist artist Roz Keating is now offering her vibrantly
colorful and visually engaging mixed media artwork for sale or commission
online at ArtistRozKeating.com, a digitally-watermarked, W3C-validated and
Web 3.0-Ready online art gallery developed by Miami web designer Bruce
Arnold of WebReDesignMiami.com.

Rosalind ("Roz") Keating is an established artist who moved to South Florida
in 1990 from Philadelphia PA, where her unique visions of natural surrealism
with a focus on trees received many accolades over the years. Prior to that,
she studied in Boston MA at the New England School of Design and
Architecture, earning a degree in Interior Design and Fine Arts.
Philadelphia is where her series of tree blowups began. It started with
extensive photographs of trees, which seemed to call to her. "Trees have
always been a mystical and magical part of my life," Keating explained. "My
'tree series' began in 1978, and will always be an ongoing experiment." Her
work started out devoid of color except at times employing colored
watercolor paper. But when she moved to Florida, she started incorporating
color as a new medium using oil pastels, colored pencils, crayons and adding
acrylics into the mix as her "vibrational art" was born.

Ms. Keating's goal today is to share her passion for life with the world and
promote her art across the Internet, and her new website is designed with
those results in mind. According to Keating, "My goal has always been to
share my vision through my art with as many people as possible, and the
website Bruce Arnold designed for me is the tool I needed to reach out to
the world, get exposure and explore new opportunities."

In order to garner the traffic and exposure needed to create those new
opportunities, ArtistRozKeating.com is designed at the source level to
deliver broad accessibility and high search visibility while preserving the
artist's dream and right to enjoy the fruits of her labors. The website
passes all seven tests of "Web 3.0 Readiness" which means, among other
things, that its web pages consist of W3C-compliant and WCAG-validated
tableless HTML5 and CSS3 with Unobtrusive Javascript. This professional
standards framework and coding discipline separates content from format and
behavior and thereby optimizes efficiency and search engine indexing
potentials. The gallery animation is jQuery-based so that every web page
could be verified accessible using not only the latest versions of the five
major web browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari)
but also flash-free HTML5 user agents such as Mobile Safari on the Apple
iPad. And to protect art and artist by deterring copyright violations and
online piracy, DigiMarc(tm) technology was applied to embed an imperceptible
digital watermark in all of Keating's original art images. Unlike standard
metadata that can be stripped away, these digital watermarks will persist
within the images and allow them to be traced and monitored even if they are
copied or manipulated.

With all bases covered, Keating is confident about the outcome: "Thanks to
Bruce Arnold and his amazing mastery of how words and standards drive the
Web, I believe my dream will become a reality."
