Nationally recognized artist Robin Rose creates works in encaustic mixed with pigment and wax, characterized by deep, introspective fields of color that conjure a pleasing sense of solitude. Residing in Washington, D.C., though a Florida native, Rose is represented by Hemphill Fine Arts in Washington, DC and Howard Scott Gallery, and is included in the collections of the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, and The Phillips Collection, Washington DC, amongst other private and public collections.
