This biography from the Archives of AskART:
| The following, submitted August 2005, is from Gary Stanley/ArtSanDiego:
Esther Rose was born in Two Harbors, Minnesota on April 1, 1901 with the maiden name of Holbeck. A painter, she is known for her impressionist renditions of California coastal images. At age 20 Esther Holbeck married Frank Rose, and in 1924 they settled in San Diego, California. While in San Diego they established the city's first Karmel Korn Shop.
Rose had been sketching and painting watercolors from an early age. In the 1940's she began studying painting with Frederick Taubes, Bennett Bradbury, and J. Milford Ellison. Bradbury's influence is readily seen in her dramatic seascapes.
From 1958, through the mid 1970's, she lived on the Monterey Peninsula where she became very active in the local art community. By 1976 she had settled again in the San Diego area. Her oils and watercolors include still life works, seascapes, and landscapes of the Monterey Peninsula and Carmel, California areas. She also worked in silkscreens and collages.
Rose was a member of the West Coast Art Association, Central Coast Art Association, in the Monterey area, the Pacific Grove Art Association, and the Foothills Art Association in La Mesa, California. She exhibited her works in these venues as well as the Monterey County Fair, the Bank Of Carmel, and the Del Mar Fair in San Diego.
Esther Rose died in La Mesa, California on July 16, 1990.
