Author. Artist. Activist.
Thirteen published books. Paintings held in private collections worldwide. Founder of the first global Age March, advocating age pride and human rights for all. A lifetime of work, none of the apology. Still here. Still making. Still unapologetically herself.

Fulfilled globally by Gelato. No customs delays. Shipped locally to your door whether you are in San Francisco, London, Tokyo, or Sydney.
Each painting is a one-of-one original: expressive, intimate, and impossible to replicate. These are not prints. This is the actual work, ready to live with you.
Barbara Rose Brooker is a San Francisco-native artist, author, and activist for age pride and human rights for people of all ages, abilities, and sexual orientations. With a BFA in painting and an MA in English Literature and Creative Writing, she has spent decades exploring the emotional interior of human experience: on the page, on canvas, and on stage.
She produced the first global Age March in history, advocating age pride for all ages, genders, and races. Her work is proof that cultural relevance, and dignity, belong to anyone who keeps showing up.
From international bestsellers to poetry, memoir to fiction: a body of work that spans decades and defies category.
