Bowl of Lemons (2026)

"You wouldn’t think it, but this piece has layers upon layers and has been on an absolutely exhausting journey. It started as a landscape. Then those bloody trees showed up again and I completely lost my shizzle. Like… WTAF? Let the trees go, woman. So, in a fit of rage, I painted over the entire thing with white and started again. Enter: abstract flowers. They were cute and all, but really… flowers are just the cousins of trees, right? Next came a still life fruit bowl. And FYI, I can actually draw. A beautiful bowl of lemons sitting on my hardwood dining table. But where’s the fun in making a painting look exactly like reality? Isn’t that what cameras are for? So out came the white paint again. This time, though, I left a few clues behind and manipulated them with my favourite brush, letting the painting find its own way. The important thing here is that the final result is NOT trees. And frankly, I’m calling that a win."

Since Rose was a child, she was always busily painting and creating on her Nonna's endless supply of Butcher paper. Her days could be consumed with illustrating story books, designing dream houses and getting lost in the world of creativity.

She never plucked the courage to share her work with the world because she felt intimated in sharing a piece of her . "To allow someone to see you art is like opening the pages of your journals for them to read".

Using acrylic and mixed mediums to create her pieces, Rose creates exquisite paintings that are a window to her soul, sharing, nostalgic memories, and things that stop her in her tracks.

"If I don't have an awesome playlist on, I can't create. Music takes me back to special places where you can practically smell and feel that particular moment"

Rose grew up in Melbourne but moved to Canberra in 2012, where she opened up her studio for business.

Rose's artwork "Frida" and "Flowers for Florence" both appeared on the hit TV show The Block 2020 and she has also featured in The Block Magazine. Many of her pieces are hanging on walls throughout Australia and overseas.
