Born and raised in Colorado, Rose Tripp spent her early years surrounded by the Rocky Mountains until her parents, Joe and Sadie Vialpando, relocated her family to Northern California. In Santa Rosa, she met her husband in the 10th grade at Piner High School.

From her early years, she has always been interested in drawing. But in 2011, she was excited to discover oil and acrylic paint. What captivates Rose most about oil and acrylic paint is the rich textures it imbues upon the canvas. To her, art is an expression of creativity without boundaries, whether it manifests as a portrait, landscape, still life, seascape, or depiction of animals. She thrives on the anticipation of each new creation, be it through oil paint, soap making, jewelry crafting, or any other form of artistic endeavor. In essence, Rose's true passion lies in the act of creation itself, forever eager to explore the endless possibilities that lie around the corner.
