ABOUT ROSIE

I am a multi-media artist based in the UK, working across traditional and digital media, with a particular love of print and collage. I love bold design that’s simple, distinctive and full of character. When I’m not creating, I can be found wandering the lanes and moorland of my local landscape, sipping coffee and nosing my way through a good book. Stories are at the heart of every piece I make; folklore, myths and magic live in every line.

PHILOSOPHY

My designs come from a dialogue between the physical nature of being and the narratives we build for ourselves. I find inspiration by looking around me, lead intuitively by shapes, animals, colours and textures that set my heart on fire. My designs are both an expression of what I connect with outside, and how I experience these things within my own world.

PROJECTS

If you like my work and have a project in mind, I’d love to hear from you! When working commercially I prioritise brands with sustainable ethics.
