Rose Marr is a portrait artist whose signature use of crayon on wood creates unique artworks. She enjoys drawing black and white images from photograph references. Many of her images document the cultural and political aspects of Black people in America which she considers a visual Black history lesson. She is a graduate of Memphis College of Art and a former high school art teacher and administrator. Marr is the daughter of the late Mary “Mayfair” Matthews, a self-taught folk artist, and the wife of the late Carl Scott, a local artist and muralist.
