About.
Rose is inspired predominantly by the Natural World, particularly the smaller things which can go unnoticed or be disregarded by others. Through the medium of painting and drawing, she creates delicate, yet expressive pieces which aim to provoke in an understated way with empathy and intrigue.
Originally trained as an Illustrator, Rose is now a recognised artist within the fine art world, exhibiting in numerous places across the globe, appearing in a variety of publications, and creating work for a wide range of companies.
After taking a few years out with the birth of her child, travelling and exploring projects in America, moving to her new home on the rugged Welsh coast, setting up an artist residency program and art studio, and sailing the South Pacific, she is now back on track with her own art, experimenting with new ideas and producing a fresh body of work.
