2024 Small Works Show artist Stephanie Rose

Stephanie Rose’s paintings draw upon her vocations in agriculture and gardening, and rural life near wilderness. Curious about her place in the environment, she investigates landscapes from different vantage points. Painting is Rose’s way of being in conversation with the land. Her work explores ephemeral and intangible phenomena, memory and emotion. Rose’s ethereal paintings suggest something familiar, yet remain inscrutable.

Rose has exhibited at The Brinton Museum, The Wyoming State Capitol and Turner Fine Art. Her paintings have been featured in The Western Art Collector. Rose received the Bonner Family Award, The BoldBrush Award for Abstract, 1st Place for Oil at Cody Country Art League, and the Northwest College Board of Trustees Purchase Award. Rose has been an artist in residence at The Brinton Museum, University of Utah’s Taft-Nicholson Center for Environmental Humanities, Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area and Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness Foundation. Her art education includes courses at Oberlin College, Northwest College and study with professional artists. She holds a BA degree in East Asian Studies from Oberlin College, and a MS degree in Land Resources from the University of Wisconsin – Madison.

Rose lives and works in Wyoming with her family. Her hand-built adobe home is powered by wind and sun and surrounded by a pollinator-friendly garden of native plants.
