Rose M Barron

The youngest of four children, Rose M Barron was born in Columbus, Indiana and was influenced by the art making of her eldest sister at an early age. Receiving scholarships and art awards she began her fine arts study at Ball State University, transferred to the University of Georgia and obtained her BFA. Moving to Atlanta to pursue art and teaching, Rose discovered her passion for photography and film. Rose finished her Master's Degree at Georgia State University with a concentration in Photography and is now pursuing her MFA in photography at Savannah College of Art and Design and is the recipient of the 2012-2013 Lee Kimche McGrath Graduate scholarship.

Her work deals with the theme of identity through gender and culture. Rose's short filmed, art film "Satyritown: SurREEL in Cabbagetown" was accepted into the WIFTA film shorts and the Indi Grits Festival. Her short film Blood Raven was accepted into the 2011 Action on Film festival in Los Angeles. Currently she is continuing her mixed media work and her tableau photography / video series.

Rose's affiliations include City of Atlanta and Fulton County artists registry, IRIS International Centre for Women in Photography, Women in Film, and Women Contemporary Artists....
