Wild Rose Artists is a creative collective of three local painters—Terresa Dersch, Kathy Knopp, and Jacalyn Carr—brought together by their shared passion for artistic expression and the natural beauty of their surroundings. Each member brings her own unique style and perspective, but together they create a vibrant and cohesive body of work that reflects their deep connection to place, creativity, and community.
Each artist began her creative journey as a watercolorist, drawn to the delicate transparency and spontaneity the medium offers. Over time, all three expanded their practice to include oil painting, captivated by its rich texture, depth, and versatility.
🎨 Terresa Dersch enjoys painting in a variety of mediums including watercolor, acrylic and oil. She finds great pleasure incorporating different techniques and styles into her work.
🎨 Kathy Knopp began her artistic journey with watercolors but always felt a pull towards oil – a medium her Mother had loved. Her works capture the everyday beauty of life on the farm, reflecting her deep connection to the land.
🎨 Jacalyn Carr creates in watercolor, oil, and pastel, drawn to the unique qualities of each medium. Deeply influenced by the beauty of nature her work often features landscapes, florals and animals.
Together, the Wild Rose Artists create a body of work that reflects both their individual voices and their collective vision. Their paintings have been featured in local exhibitions and community events, where they continue to engage and inspire through their shared love of art and nature.
