ROSE a.s. BURCH Educated. Exhibited. Experienced. Exploring Creative Wisdom Professional Freelance Artist As a child Rose traveled the continental USA with her family until settling in the small Northern California village of Mendocino. The smell of fish mingled with damp fog, jagged coastline caressed by salty breezes, tradition, time and ever-present love and care from God, family and good friends nurtured her along with the gift of art and writing. Studies carried her to universities in Chico and San Jose California and Honolulu Hawaii where technique and visual, mental and spiritual concepts were punched, pulled, poked, twisted and drawn from her as degrees in Fine Art were accomplished. Studies in Creative Writing, Iconology, Counseling and the Philosophy of artists (such as Antonio Gaudi) whose art contain spirit symbolized and alive - organic not only in form but message - brought validity and new life to her own work. Along-side those who live in fantasy and those who struggle with day to day survival on Hawaiian Islands. Accepted as a child transplanted (‘hanai’) into the family (‘ohana’) rich in color and culture … her art and writing drew hues and essence from island life and her European and Native American heritage. Rose first established the work of ‘The Dove’s Eye’ in Hawaii along with three daughters as her accomplices in creativity and life (blessings in disguise). Migrating back to the mainland then heading Northwest, Rose and her art labor hand in hand with occupations of counsel and assistance to others through works of healing, inspiration, encouragement and administration. As an instrument through which art and the written word flow and draw the creative process from within, Rose links creator and observer ... all active participants in the life and significance of her art works, writings and care. As an accomplished Professional Freelance Artist and Writer, with works acclaimed in group and private collections and exhibits in the USA and internationally Rose presents art, the written word, and creation-care as a culmination, locution and courier of that which might not otherwise be conceived or visually embraced. Her work is a beginning to explore and a bridge to span … if there is a beginning within vast valleys that separate times, people and worlds where more exists to begin with than can be taken into account. A message of experience, relationship, care, development and growth unfolds and intertwines in unique visual and written communication … which endeavors to validate and encourage life. As her creative expressions come into focus they reveal images of visual and written symbolical and allegorical significance molded into existence through word, art and action. Universal and unseen imagery of love, compassion, creation, beauty, and timelessness combine with her heart and techniques to create unique and sensitive concepts - intense in quality and interpretation, yet gentle and nourishing to the eye, mind and heart. With Rose we continue the journey observing, exploring and creating images of the miracle and wonder around and before us.
