About Rose

Hi, I'm Rose! I'm a writer and artist who loves helping people find their own voice, whether on the page or in a sketchbook. On the art side, I'm a printmaker, bookbinder, felter, and ink-pen obsessive. I love figure drawing, anatomy, and botanical illustration, and I'm always trying new techniques, from colonial book sewing to printing with recycled cartons. I started out as a tour guide, which taught me to make ideas lively and easy to follow, and I bring that to every session. On the writing side, I studied English literature at Tulane and published peer-reviewed literary research. I'm happiest digging into a good sentence to see what makes it work. Today I write professionally as a communications consultant and co-write a Substack for fun. I love showing students that clear, confident writing is a skill anyone can build. When I'm not making things, I'm on my farm in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, caring for rescue sheep and other animals.
