Rose Clarke

Rose Clarke

Born Mina Rose Denise Sher in South Africa, Rose has been an artist since her chubby little fingers could hold a crayon. She briefly studied Fine Art at the University of Cape Town, where her classical interests did not fit the 1970s art scene. She has since studied with numerous artists of various disciplines; figurative and abstract, Oriental and Western, figure drawing and mixed media.

These days Rose works with mixed media, paint and eco-printing. Informed by Art Therapy, her work is expressive of inner states of being, using abstract and figurative forms as they emerge. You are cordially invited to use them to enter your own narratives and enquiries.
