About

​Heather Rose is a dark figurative artist raised in the woods of New England. She graduated with a BFA in illustration from Montserrat College of Art in 2006, and has been working as a freelance illustrator since. Her work is inspired by folklore, horror, and pop culture, and is characterized by it's dark nature and use of recurring themes, specifically the halo. Her traditional paintings are done mostly in inks and acrylics, and her digital works are all created on Ibis Paint. She is staunchly against the use of generative AI in art, and will never use it in her works. 

Her portfolio includes Tarot deck illustrations for Amanda Palmer and for the And That's Why We Drink podcast; concept art for the upcoming animated series "All The King's Men"; and illustrated cover and promotional art for various local authors, comic book writers, musicians, and small businesses. She has also illustrated a small collection of sketch cards for Marvel.
