Amelia Rose Smith, a native of Charleston, SC, was born in 1955 and attended local schools. Rose has painted professionally for over a decade.  Pursuing an art degree while on scholarship at Coker College in Hartsville, SC, Rose developed a passion for watercolor.  After graduation she was employed by the SC Department of Natural Resources as an illustrator and worked for other agencies until 1984.  After painting for shows on weekends, she became a full-time artist developing her medium and vision. Rose resides in Mt. Pleasant, her home and studio located on the marsh. Frequent excursions around the creeks and rivers with her husband and young sons, John and Peter, provide unending subject matter for a lifetime of painting pursuits.
