The Plum Tree

" This random memory just popped into my head one day. The big plum tree outside my grandparent's white weatherboard house, nature strip. It fit so well on that street. Amongst all the other original retro looking homes and neat low-cut lawns. I only ever remember sunny afternoons there - never rainy days. Isn't that strange? Us kids would run in and out of the house all day - for food, a glimpse of what afternoon Sunday movie was on tv and simply to let the adults know that we were alive. But that plum tree saw many games - so much picking of sour plums being used for ammo and the wonderous base for a game of Tiggy. What a fond memory to have pop into my head "

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.
