Rose began creating artwork at the young age in a family of artists and engineers.  She grew up in southern California enjoying the mountains and the ocean, and  has traveled extensively in the wolrd.  She graduated from California State University, with AA in Engineering and Bachelor of Fine Art in Design in 1996.   She has had Independent studies in life figure drawing, painting, illustration, and sculpting under accomplished teachers.   Her greatest pleasure is her ability to be able to share with others the mystery of Expressionism through portraits of humans and wildlife on canvas. Her peaceful expressionisms reflect her appreciation of jewel like colors .
