About the Artist

Rose Drummond (she/they) is a contemporary watercolor and ink artist creating work that stems from a personal practice of art as a guide and guardian. She creates imagery as a new modality of iconography derived from Earth based practices through her lense as a regenerative farmer and lifelong student of the Living Land. Her felt sense of allyship with nature can be seen through her anthropomorphic take on the Earth through the lense of the femme form.

Rose’s pieces speak to the cyclical principles of Birth, Death, Rebirth, and the natural world. Much of her work is created to enshrine moments of transition, grief, and Earth in physical objects as a touchstone for feeling.

Her techniques with ink crosshatching as shading atop many layers of watercolor make a conscious and time intensive effort to weave intention and meaning into her work.

Rose was born on a farm in Swinomish & Skagit territories near Mount Vernon, WA and currently resides in Sto:lo territory. Her work has been shown at transformational festivals up and down the West Coast and abroad.

When she’s not painting, Rose is working with the land through organic farming, sustainability practices, and food equity initiatives. She is passionate about food security and living gently.

Rose is queer, neurodivergent, experiences chronic illness, and is passionate about disability justice. She seeks to consistently learn and educate herself in liberation movements and equity initiatives..
