A native of Central California’s Monterey Peninsula, Rose is a self-taught artist. Always a free spirit, she was drawn to creative expression from an early age and dabbled in poetry, sketching, painting, and theater performance. As a young adult, she captured the beauty of nearby Carmel, Big Sur, and the Santa Cruz Mountains through photography. Rose’s artistic disposition and intuitive nature are complemented by a background in team development and corporate management, including a long stint with animation and retail giant Warner Bros. Ever the child at heart, she says she could not resist the prospect of working for Bugs Bunny.

In 2000, Rose left the corporate world to raise her family. Often the subject of her photographic works, she credits her 2 children with reigniting her creative fire. She has captured moments of their lives using imaginative photo composition and digital illustration that invite the viewer to share in her imagination.

In 2004, Rose began formal studies in Graphic Design. She also put her artistic and leadership skill sets to use as a parent volunteer at Westlake Hills Elementary, where her children attended school. There she spent six years leading and teaching art in the classroom as an Art Trek docent. In 2014, she joined the Art Trek team as an Art Educator. In July 2016, Rose accepted an amazing opportunity to bring Art Trek to a summer program in Guilin, Guangxi, China. The extreme joy in the faces of international students, coupled with their artistic expression, created a truly rewarding and magical experience. In addition to art education, Rose participates in lesson development, training of staff, and oversees numerous projects within Art Trek's studio, including annual camp programs and field trips, as well as outside school activities. In 2024, Rose received a promotion to Project Coordinator with Art Trek, adding to her palette of many talents.

Rose's assemblage of creative outlets continues to grow. She is currently the owner of LunaBleu Design, a venue for her handcrafted natural stone jewelry, and LunchStars, a brand of creative and eco-friendly trivia cards she designed for children. In addition to Facebook and Instagram, LunaBleuDesign can be found at many local festivals and events throughout Los Angeles, Malibu, Ventura, and Santa Barbara counties.
