Rebecca Rose trained initially as a landscape designer. Her love of gardens and outdoor spaces sparked a desire to create art works for these arenas. Training under sculptor Theo Janssen during 1990-1993 Rose worked in bronze.

A desire to build larger pieces led her to exploring concrete as a medium. From 1995-2000 Rose completed five series of figurative works in concrete, now found in gardens throughout New Zealand. These include a gathering of nine sculptures at Government House, Wellington NZ.

Rose’s recent work has centred on the cyclic nature of life and humanities interconnectedness. In exploring these themes she has created abstract work using metals and alloys. These sculptures are found in collections in New Zealand, Internationally and in public spaces.

Rose and her partner Matt Chamberlain and their three children live and work from a dramatic home studio in Titirangi Auckland NZ.
