About the Artist
Evelyn Rose Studio is the creative home of St. Louis–based artist Mary Broome, whose work is rooted in joyful observation of the natural world and everyday beauty.
Mary has always felt a persistent creative tug, but it wasn’t until 2020, in the midst of the global pandemic, that she began to answer it. What started as simple doodles quickly blossomed into a deep passion. She’s endlessly grateful to the artists whose books, tutorials, and encouragement helped guide her along the way.
Her illustrations often feature flowers, fruit, animals, and buildings, brought to life with ink, markers, colored pencils, and occasionally gouache or watercolor. Every piece is created with the hope of spreading joy. Her favorite colors include peach, mustard yellow, olive green, and periwinkle.
Daily Life
By day, Mary works as a Creative Services Manager, where she applies her love of design and storytelling to branding, graphic design, and art direction. She lives in Tower Grove South with her husband, Kevin, and their two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Tater and Poppy.
