Rowdy Rose’s work has gained notable recognition since launching their studio in early 2024, including Best in Show at the Broome County Arts Council’s Flower Show (2025) and multiple solo exhibitions across New York. Rowdy Rose Studio explores themes of growth, connection, and ecology through vibrant, expressive works that invite viewers into a playful and reflective relationship with the natural world.

Water-Carved Stitch Scapes combine hand-cut paper, watercolor, and machine stitching to explore depth, texture, and material interplay. Negative space reveals the relief of underlying washes and layered forms, balancing the unpredictability of water with the precision of cut paper and stitched seams. Each piece is built slowly and intuitively, threading connections and constructing each piece like a field note brought to life—expressive, layered, and deeply personal. This mixed-media process embraces contrast: grief and joy, control and chance. The result is work that feels both carefully crafted and delightfully spontaneous, carrying a quiet sense of movement, intimacy, and emotional resonance.

Beyond gallery walls, Rowdy Rose shares her work through local artist markets and collaborative community events. Her pieces have appeared at the Brooktondale Apple Festival and the Factory Art Market, reflecting her commitment to making art accessible and rooted in place. You can also find Rowdy Rose’s work on the Ithaca Commons at The Artisan Cove, where her pieces live within the daily rhythm of the community.

Whether displayed in a gallery, on a café wall, or in a festival booth, Rowdy Rose’s art invites viewers into a world where color and curiosity bloom.
