Kaylee Rose
Adjunct Professor
Kaylee Rose (She/Her) is a visual artist whose work emerges from direct observation and lived experience. Working primarily in painting, she explores the figure, using drawing and sculptural approaches to expand the language of representation.
Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, Rose earned her BFA in Painting from The Ohio State University and her MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University. She is the recipient of a Teaching Fellowship at Tufts University, where she researched the pedagogy in contemporary painting practices. Her recent exhibition, Pulling Teeth and Jumping Rope, curated by Dani Shen of the Harvard Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, was featured as part of SMFA’s MFA Thesis Show.
Rose’s work has been exhibited internationally at the CICA Museum in South Korea and nationally in venues such as the Roy G. Biv Gallery and Urban Arts Space. Her thesis is part of Tufts University’s permanent collection, and her practice was recently featured in Tufts Now in the article “Kaylee Rose’s Everywhere Art.”
