Mary Rose gained an MA in Victorian Studies from Royal Holloway, University of London. She’s an accredited lecturer with The Arts Society (NADFAS) and enjoys giving lectures all over the UK about the unique Art UK project for which she’s worked part-time since 2007. She has written several arts-related articles and is a volunteer guide at Dorich House Museum, studio-home of the Russian-born sculptor Dora Gordine, and at Sandycombe Lodge, J. M. W. Turner's house in Twickenham.

Mary Rose’s favourite painting is Turner’s England: Richmond Hill, on the Prince Regent’s Birthday because it’s the view she loves seeing when walking her dog along The Terrace in Richmond.
