A life well lived, and a life richly shared.
For Marie-France Rose, art was never simply something she made. It was a lifelong passion — expressed through sculpture, painting, teaching and above all, an extraordinary curiosity about the people, places and everyday moments around her.
Born and raised in Quebec, Marie-France eventually made her home here in Uki, where she became a dear friend to many and an important part of the local arts community. Her warmth, humour, generosity and creative spirit touched so many lives.
‘Retrospective’ brings together work spanning more than a decade of Marie-France’s artistic life, including her final series, Every Dog and His Man — seven small, wonderfully playful studies of people and their beloved dogs.
Alongside the exhibition, we are sharing a slideshow of photographs celebrating Marie-France’s life, her friendships and the joy she brought to those around her.
It feels fitting that, in her absence, the gallery is filled with her colour, humour and creativity — a beautiful reminder of a much-loved woman who left so much of herself behind.
Marie-France’s Retrospective is on display at Art Post Uki until Wednesday 14 October.
