Rouvé spent a great deal of her youth doing portrait sketches of her classmates at school and after studying Occupational Therapy decided it was time to live out her passion and proceeded to study for her BA in Fine Art at UNISA, and has been involvedin the artworld for the last 30 years.
She enjoys regular interaction with other artists and likes to attend workshops, which she feels encourages her to grow as a person and as an artist.
Rouvé's career in the art world formally began when she and her husband relocated from Middelburg to Gansbaai, where they ran a popular restaurant and art gallery for a few years.
Now, years later, Rouvé has relaxed into her role as a full-time artist and creates her masterpieces in her own time.
Rouvé proudly states that her husband is her greatest fan and continually encourages her to achieve her best.
