Inviting Spring

Each painting tells a story, carrying the essence of Rose’s fascination and love for her subject matters such as landscape and floral, with roses being a prominent feature in many of her pieces.. Viewers are transported into a world where traditional Chinese brush art seamlessly merges with contemporary expressions. This exhibition is sure to uplift and inspire audiences of all ages through elegant and colorful depictions of natural beauty.
