MEET THE ARTIST
ROSE MCADOO is a visual artist and writer using desserts to raise awareness around global issues. Her unique edible art centers around human stories and the environment — leading her to make sweets with remote populations in some of the world's most extreme environments.
Rose splits her time between Alaska and Antarctica — where she currently manages NASA's Long Duration Balloon atmospheric research camp and previously wintered as a member of the Antarctic Search and Rescue team. Over the summers, she works as an ice climbing and helicopter glacier guide in Alaska.
Deep-field art residencies have led her to collect glacier data with the North Cascades Glacier Climate Project, decorate a four-tier cake at Denali Base Camp, and craft desserts about sea ice with the Arctic Circle in Svalbard 2024.
Rose's work has won the attention of NPR, Forbes, Saveur,
Edible Alaska, American Polar Society, and New York Magazine — among others.
