Lofty Rose is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 2022, she founded Lofty Pursuits, a creative studio that began with a focus on photography but has since expanded to offer a diverse range of services. These include visual arts, videography, and creative direction. Lofty Pursuits serves as both a platform for Rose's artistic expression and a space for collaboration, where she works with clients to create dynamic narratives across multiple mediums. Her work explores themes of mental health, Black culture, queer identity, and community wellness. Her creative process is an ongoing search for language, imagery, and meaning. Her current work reflects an editorial approach to photography, with a distinctive use of color and light. Rose often works within dark spaces, using light to create contrast and depth as a metaphor for the complexity of human experience. For her, light reveals what is hidden, offering moments of clarity within the shadows. This interplay between light and dark is central to her work, conveying vulnerability, transformation, and resilience. Through her art, Lofty strives to create space for honest conversations about identity, culture, and community. Her work is a continuous exploration of the ways in which art can offer new perspectives on the world around us.
