Atherton Qld
Rose is an award winning artist from the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, now living in Far North Queensland. Finalist in the Winton Outback Art Prize, The Doyles Art Award and The Lethbridge Landscape Art Prize.
Artworks: 15
Rose has successfully exhibited at numerous galleries including the Manyung Gallery Group, Seaview, Ryazanoff Gallery, Gallery Oscar, Steps, Tyto, Cairns Art Gallery, Tanks, Mission Beach Arts and Cairns Art Society. A keen photographer, Rose feels privileged and blessed to have been born and raised on the Mornington Peninsula which is a constant source of inspiration to her, however her subject matter ranges far and wide as she visits and is influenced by the contrasts of this land. Having recently made the monumental journey across the country from south to north, she now resides in Atherton far north Queensland finding a whole new world of subjects and inspiration from her tropical home where the outback meets the rainforest.
“As an artist I explore the landscape, deliberately disassembling, re-arranging, deleting the clutter and working with what essence remains in the head and the heart (seeing things that are often seen only with peripheral vision) It is the artist’s mission to attempt to convey what is inexpressible in words, allowing the subject to speak. Paintings of such energy charged laces wish to relate the response of the energy or mood found there, in subliminal messages and resonating memories ( for both the artist and the viewer) Hopefully through it all we can construct a language understood by many, no matter how many tongues it traverses. That is my motivation” Rose Knight
