The daughter of a former slave who worked as a farmer, blacksmith, and basket maker to support his family of nine girls and one boy, Rowe showed an early interest in and talent for art. Her artistic endeavors increased after the death of her second husband, Henry Rowe, in 1948, and she continued to create until a few months before her death in 1982.
