Rosie is a rare breed - a born and bred Manxman who even gained her First Class Fine Art Degree without having to leave her beloved rock. Although her work spans a number of disciplines including photography, drawing and printmaking Rosie additionally loves working with natural fibres and incorporating different textile techniques into her creations.
"Working with natural fibres from our environment has an enduring place, giving us a sense of connection both to our maternal line and back further through the generations. They provide a grounding - something tangible in the virtual global culture we live in today."
Rosie is continually drawn back to the world around her and the strong connections she has with this Island. She searches out texture, colour and form. Small details in a landscape intrigue her more than a full vista and she attempts to portray these details to others. Her eye is honed to the small unexpected elements that are overlooked by many and finds beauty in unexpected places.
