Melanie Monique Rose is a Metis/Ukrainian visual artist from Regina, Saskatchewan Treaty 4 Territory, a citizen of the Metis Nation of Saskatchewan, and a long-time contributing member of Sâkêwêwak Artists’ Collective Inc. and board member. Rose’s work centres on kinship and relationships between the land, ourselves and each other. Through plants and flowers Rose invites transmissions of ancestral knowledge and teachings while also imagining and creating a de-colonial future through the lens of Metis worldviews.

Rose has works in Saskatchewan as an independent curator, gallery facilitator, story-keeper, and art instructor and in addition teaches various workshops at both public and private institutions.

In 2018 her daughter Meadow Rose was born and is currently a full-time mom, caregiver, and artist. Becoming a mother has increased Rose’s desire to share the stories of her culture and family and has challenged the way she creates independently and as a shared experience with her daughter. Currently Rose is working on a large-scale fashion collaboration with the land, her daughter, mother and twelve Saskatchewan based designers called “Meadows" which is named after her daughter.

Melanie is represented by the  Assiniboia Gallery in Regina, SK.
