Bio/Resume

Rose Collins is a wildlife artist in Tucson, AZ. As wildlife artist Rose says “my soul is filled with joy when I awaken in the morning to the anticipation and excitement I experience when I begin painting.”  Since moving to Tucson in 1998 from New York, her passion, dedication, and love of all that is Southwest are blazingly evident in the work she creates. 

From a professional background in psychotherapy, Rose has a deep understanding of human interactions, adding a palpable level of conscious reality and complete honesty to her wildlife fine art.  Self-taught as an artist, she painstakingly studies other artists, is a voracious reader and researcher, frequents galleries as a means of educating herself and uses her vast knowledge and mastery of photography to incorporate composition and perspective into her designs.  

She is represented by Jane Hamilton Fine Art in Tucson, Arizona. 2016-present

In August 2019 she was juried into WAOW show at the Mary Williams Fine Art Gallery in Boulder,Colorado.

An invitation by the curator of the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City to show two wildlife paintings for their Small Works and Great Wonders art show in November of 2019 was an honor for Rose.

July 6 - August 30th, 2018 she was invited to exhibit her work at SouthWind Gallery in Topeka, Kansas with 25 female western artists in "Daughters of the West Art Show".

2017 was one of the many highlights of her career when she received acceptance into the prestigious CowGirl Up Show featuring woman artists of the west.
