Rose has been a Port Orchard resident since coming here from New York in 2008.
She teaches a variety of art courses at Olympic College. As an artist herself, her primary medium is oil paint.
She often creates works that depict sights and scenes found in Port Orchard along Beach Drive and Bay Street. Rose is interested in other art forms as well, such as origami and quilt making. She is currently working on a series of flower paintings showing blossoms against a black background.
