The serene beauty of rural Kansas is shown in my photography with no retouching/ enhancing. The "everyday places" of fields, trees and rural roads are photographed with a painterly feel. Misty mornings and natural lighting add to intriguing compositions and depth of contrast bringing you to a peaceful and endearing place.

Much of my work is photographed in De Soto, where I live on acreage surrounded by fields and Cedar Creek. I also venture out to the Flint Hills, where I’ve hung the Symphony in the Flint Hills Art Exhibit for several years. I took part in a Flint Hills burn capturing some unique photos at dusk that turned into waves of fire.

I’ve participated in a variety of juried art shows that include:

State of the Arts-Prairie Village   Art at the Center-Overland Park   Arti Gras-Leawood  Westport Art Show-Kansas City   Somerset Art in the Vines-Paola   Sunflower Artfest-De Soto, Lawrence Art in the Park   Kansas Sampler Festival   Buttonwood Art Space  

Maple Leaf Festival   Hollis Winter Art Show    St. Paul School of Theology  

Trinity Lutheran Church-Mission   La Salle Street Church-Chicago.

Public Collections:
Hutamaki International, VT Holding Company, Parade of Homes,

Commonwealth Financial Network

Kaw Prarie Church, Overland Park Christian Church,

and several private collections.

Currently my work is displayed at The Farmhouse gallery & guesthouse.

I enjoy teaching Art to all ages of children and adults–photography, drawing, painting, and developed “Art in my Garden” at my home studo. At Blackhawk Community College (Moline, IL)  I taught desktop publishing for five years.

I was employed as a graphic designer for 15 years in advertising/promotions for the

Chicago Tribune/Orlando Sentinel Star.

Scripture is interwoven in many of my pieces, that "Walk you through Scripture."

and I combine photos with songs in Audio Visual Worship. 

I helped develop and chaired the Sunflower Artfest in De Soto, and received a grant for developing the De Soto Arts Center.

Presently I publish, write and design Discovering De Soto feature magazine,

teach out of my home studio and enjoy participating in occasional art shows.

I hope you enjoy viewing the work on my web site, that has been compiled through many years. There are a variety of pieces and price points for you to select from. I also offer customized products and fundraising collaborations.

Sincerely,

Rose
