Dusty Rose was born and raised in the Middle East, spending the majority of her youth living in Istanbul, Turkey. Her art work takes advantage of the various cultures and places she has traveled to. Working primarily with textures, materials and fragments, her pieces reflect the humanistic, natural curiosity of the wealth and heritage presented in this world. In capturing parts of what she has already experienced and hopes of what she will discover in the future, each piece is a continuation of her art, as if the mediums are on a journey with her. Dusty received her BA from the University of Maryland, College Park.
