Rose Kamma Morrison is a Canadian artist based on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, whose work reflects resilience, adaptation, and the transformative power of creativity.
Since 2010, Rose has exhibited her artwork in galleries and exhibitions throughout British Columbia, including Sooke, Vancouver, Cowichan Valley, and Langley, as well as New Brunswick and internationally in Redding and Sacramento, California, New York, and Chicago. Her work has been recognized with several honours, including the Judy Jasek Award in Chicago and the People’s Choice Award at the Cowichan Valley Fine Arts Show in 2020. Today, her artwork is held in private collections around the world.
Rose studied art throughout her school and college years in Port Alberni, where she focused primarily on watercolour painting. As progressive vision loss changed the way she experienced the world, her artistic practice evolved from realism to abstraction. Rather than limiting her creativity, this transition opened the door to new techniques and materials, including alcohol ink, mixed media, and tactile art. She embraces experimentation, continually discovering innovative ways to express texture, movement, and emotion through adaptive creative processes.
Committed to making art accessible to others, Rose developed and teaches Art Without Boundaries, an adaptive art program designed for people living with vision loss. She has led workshops in the United States, through CNIB in Victoria and its national webinar series, and with Deafblind Connection in Edmonton. Through these classes, she encourages participants to explore alcohol ink and other creative mediums using adaptive techniques, demonstrating that artistic expression has no boundaries.
