In 1978 Rosenbaum earned a BS at the University of Wisconsin and in 1986 an MFA at Virginia Commonwealth University, where he has taught since graduating. His awards include Wisconsin Arts Board Project grants in 1978, 1982, 1984, faculty research grants in 1989 and 1994, a Virginia Commission for the Arts Individual Artist Fellowship in 1996 and School of the Arts Research Leave Awards in 1997 and 2001. His public commissions include a bronze sculpture for the City of Richmond in 1999 and commissions by Virginia for the Arts in 2000 and Virginia Commonwealth University in 2002, 2003 and 2004.
His whimsical figurative sculptures are influenced by funk, often featuring parts of the human body in conjunction with household items. Some are reminiscent of Surrealism, in particular the works of Renée Margritte. They are fired multiple times to achieve richly patinated surfaces. R. cites Robert Arneson as his main influence.
