Her paintings are not easy to classify, weaving together various genres, styles, and intentions. She frequently presents snapshots of figures in the midst of some great drama, though nothing is ever quite certain or clear. Any potential narrative is consistently disrupted and obscured, visually and stylistically, through abrupt scale shifts, inventive, often jarring colour choices, and a flattening or flipping of the spatial illusion. Rather than attempting to synthesize the various elements within each picture, Rose instead chooses to celebrate their incongruency. With a loose and gestural style, her works are painterly, powerfully visceral, and disorienting in the best possible way.
