Anna Rose grew up in a small ranching community on the United States side of the Mexico border. Life there was quiet and remote, with the nearest grocery store more than an hour away.

Because she grew up in such a peaceful and isolated environment, creativity became a natural part of everyday life. One of her earliest memories is spending afternoons outside finger painting with her mother. With a small easel and paint covered aprons, those moments sparked a lifelong love for art.

As she grew older, creating became something she returned to again and again. Whether working with clay, crocheting, painting, or experimenting with paper mache, Anna was always finding new ways to express ideas and emotions through creativity.
