Rose Elizabeth was born and raised in San Antonio, TX, where she has spent her entire life. Since birth, Rose has dealt with severe hearing loss and has found solace in communicating her innermost feelings through art. Being physically disabled and plagued with undiagnosed OCD, art was the only thing that she could handle doing, and it quickly became her sole special interest. Rose is versatile with any medium, but prefers to stick with acrylic paint as it provides the vibrant colors often seen in her images. In 2016, Rose joined the Contemporary at Blue Star's MOSAIC program, where she worked closely under the mentorship of Chicano artist Alex Rubio. After a four-year hiatus that began in 2020, Rose is now pursuing a degree in visual arts at San Antonio College.
As a partially deaf neurodivergent woman who was nonverbal for most of her childhood, art was truly my only way to speak with others. I feel so strongly and so passionately that it gets overwhelming, and I struggle to communicate what I’m feeling. No matter the emotion, whether positive or negative, I feel it with such an intensity that most neurotypical people don’t seem to understand. I use vibrant, saturated colors to display the intensity of my ardor further. I want my art to grab whoever is nearby and say, “Look at me, this is the only language I know. Please understand me.”
