Please enjoy the award-winning work of Rose Derkay. Her creative and adventurous nature has brought her from broadcasting, to publishing to professional fine arts photography.

An editorial photographer for many years, Rose became interested in macro photography in 2018. With the encouragement of Ocala’s art community, her point of view and artistry has evolved… particularly when it comes to macro floral portraits.

Rose’s work has been featured locally, regionally and nationally in publications like Family Times Magazine, Ocala Magazine, Guide to Greater Gainesville, Preview 352, Guide to Greater Tampa Bay, Victoria Magazine and Prairie Style.

Since 2021, her work has also been exhibited in galleries, fine art festivals, solo exhibits and personal collections. She loves traveling and exploring nature while photographing flower farms, botanical gardens, backyards and roadsides.
