Rose started with a hat block and some gumption. With research, time, trial (and sometimes error) she is now known for creating award-winning wearable pieces of art.
Ranging from dainty to daring, every piece has a unique style of its own. No factories, apprentices or short cuts here. Just wearable pieces of art, made only once.
On May 2, 2017 Rose was featured on a local CBS affiliate's morning program, Great Day St. Louis. Check out the segment where she shows her Derby-inspired millenary leading up to the big race at Churchill Downs.
Interested in commissioning a unique piece with Rose?
When Rose sits down to create, she often starts without a fully baked vision of the end-product. The materials inspire the work, and the piece appears from the elements in front of her.
Famous for her wax-resist, hand-dyed silks, mixed media fine art and her inventive use of materials in hat-making, Rose has cultivated a style that is unique to her.
