10am - 5pm

Rosie, who has recently relocated from Salcombe to North Devon, returns to Kingsbridge for her third solo exhibition at Harbour House.

As well as some delightful local studies, the exhibtion includes works inspired by Rosie's recent travels in Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Costa Rica, with watercolours, oil paintings, printmaking, wood carving and ceramics.

Rosie describes herself as an obsessive creative, a constant collector and gatherer of visual information which feeds continously into her art work.

'Making Art is a continual adventure.  Although I work in a broad range of media, spirals and helicoidal patterns in composition are a connecting thread in all the work I do.' 

'Colour is of great importance to me, although my dusk vision is poor and I'm frustrated by dark rooms because I can’t see all the colours.  This influences my palette in all the colour work I do.  Even within the more traditional or conservative landscapes and seascapes I have developed there is still, I hope, an intensity of colour. I am enthralled by lurid colour: Roaul Dufy’s vivid Mediterranean seas and the brilliant colour of Matisse’s paper cuts were colours I was captivated by from early exposure. I am rarely without a sketchbook and camera and I continually collect images - sometimes with an immediate piece of work in mind, but often I will refer back to photos and drawings. Most recently I have embarked on a new project, generating images in different media using poetry as a point of stimulus.'
