ARTIST BIO

"As an artist I explore the landscape, deliberately disassembling, re-arranging, deleting the clutter and working with what essense remains in the head and the heart....(seeing things that often are seen only with peripheral vision) It is the artist's mission to attempt to convey what is inexpressable in words, allowing the subject to speak. Paintings of such energy charged places wish to relate the response of the energy or mood found there... in subliminal messages and resonating memories (for both the artist and hopefully the viewer)"

Born and raised on the Mornington Peninsula , Rose has been painting since 2000. She began her painting journey under the guidance of Terrence John Hadler at Manyung Gallery Mt Eliza Victoria and joined that gallery's stable of artists in 2005.

She has exhibited with success at the galleries of Manyung, Linden, Seaview, Cube 37, Linden,Ryazanoff Albert Park and Gallery Oscar Sydney, Steps and Oakhill galleries. Her work hangs in private collections both in Australia and overseas and BHP biliton executives and she has had her work aquired and hung in the Central Highlands Regional Council 

She is a regular exhibitor at the Cairns Art Society and Mission Beach Art society and has enjoyed successful solo exhibitions at Tanks Art Centre Cairns, Tablelands Regional Gallery, Mission Beach Arts and Hinchinbrook Regional Gallery.

Rose feels privileged and blessed to have been raised on the Mornington Peninsula which is a constant source of inspiration to her, however her subject matter ranges far and wide as she visits and is influenced by the contrasts of this country. Having made the monumental journey across the country from south to north in 2018, she now resides in Atherton Far North Queensland, finding a whole new world of subjects and inspiration from her tropical home.

Since arrival in FNQ Rose has been a finalist in the prestigious Glover Art Prize, John Villiers Art Prize, The Lethbridge Landscape Prize, The Doyes Art Prize, The Pro Hart Outback Art Prize as well as winner of the Tyto Annual Art Prize, Artists of the North and Mission Arts Annual Awards.

Her most admired artists are Arthur Boyd, Fred Williams, John Olsen, Geoff Dyer and Philip Wolfhagen.
