ART IS A
CONVER
SATION.

rooted in observation.
Original Art
I paint primarily in oils, working from observation and memory.
Each piece is an invitation to bring your experiences, life, feelings and dreams into the work.
My intent is that you find something that calls to you and makes you feel a little tug in a forgotten direction.
An afternoon in the sunshine holding a lovers hand. A long hike through damp knee-high grass. The sound of wind in the high trees. Something you can tuck back into yourself and take home.

Ready to Create?
I’m 100% about teaching art without elitism.
Here’s how I teach:
Art should be learned, not judged.
Skill comes from time and practice, more than talent.
You don’t need permission to create!
My classes are for people of all levels who want to learn to create freely and expressively.
Hi, I’m Rose!
I’ve never colored within the lines and never fit inside a category, why start now?!
Life-long artist. Full-time multipotentialite. Writer. Speaker. Coach. Teacher. Retired overachiever and start-up hustler. Avid animal rescuer. Former skydiver and Ironman triathlete. Currently obsessed with increasing my healthspan as I age.
I split my time between a boat-access only log cabin in the Pacific Northwest of America and a 100-year old home in a fishing village on a Greek island.
I love working with people all over the world in any capacity - let’s be friends!
