Rose Marie Cromwell (b.1983 in Sacramento, CA, based in Miami) is a photographer and artist, whose work explores the effects of globalization on the local and the tenuous space between the political and the spiritual.

In 2021 she published two books, "Eclipse" by TIS Books, and "A More Fluid Atmosphere" by Pomegranate Press. Her first solo museum exhibition was at ICA Miami in 2024, and currently has a solo exhibition up at Pier 24 in San Francisco. In 2024 she was one of five artists exhibiting work in Truth Told Slant: Contemporary Documentary Photography at The High Museum in Atlanta. Cromwell is recipient of a Fulbright Grant, A Getty Reportage grant, and was a Light Work AIR. Cromwell’s work is in the collections of The High Museum, The Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, The MET Library, The MoMA Library and The SFMoMA Library.
