Maria Rose was born in London in 1985 but has subsequently lived in the West Country for most of her life including her degree in Fine Art from the University of Plymouth in Exeter in 2007. She mostly paints outdoors ‘en plein air’ and seeks impressionistic portrayal of light and colour.

Maria was part of the 2018 inaugural exhibition of the British Plein Air Painters and also with the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, the New English Art Club, the Chelsea Art Society and the South West Academy. Amongst other academic prizes and accolades, she was also a contestant on Sky Landscape Artist of the Year 2018.

The ROI is the only national art society devoted exclusively to oil painting. Their Annual Exhibition gives visitors the opportunity to see the many and varied ways in which artists use oil paint today, from a traditional approach to this highly technical medium through to more innovative uses of material, style and content.
