Drawing is a way of finding shapes and patterns, exploring an atmosphere and sense of place, finding something magical in an everyday rural landscape and is at the heart of my practice as a designer.

2013-2015 Artist in Residence at Great Dixter House and Gardens.  Text from 'Drawing Dixter' catalogue: It’s exciting to be a part of this cultivated jungle of a garden, a lively community of gardeners, and lovers of the land. Great Dixter is a contemporary British pastoral idyll reminiscent of Samuel Palmer and the artists of the 1930s neo romantic movement.  Rosie is exploring this working landscape in all weathers and seasons through drawing and printmaking.  She is drawn to the patterns, rhythms and atmosphere of the place. Every corner is like a stage with a play in progress.  Rosie endeavors to capture both the hard work of gardening life and the quiet magic of an empty garden.
