Rose became interested in art during
high school and studied under Sr. Rita Berthold. During training at Teachers’ College in
Saskatoon, Wynona Mulcaster was a great influence.
A summer spent at the Kenderdine Art School at Emma Lake, Saskatchewan, under
Professor Ken C. Lochhead furthered both interest in art and a growing facility.
The Kenderdine Art School is associated with the University of Saskatchewan.
University of Saskatchewan extension classes at Lakeland College, Lloydminster,
over a period of three years furthered growth in pottery and drawing.
Instructors were Marlene Zora and Rick Bates.
Rose has been a member of several local art groups for many years and is
currently associated with a recreational art group at the Lloydminster Legacy
Centre. Among others, Lindsay Evans
and Harry Wohlfarth were instructors for local groups.
