heritage
“I was brought up to celebrate the moments in the everyday where we can inject a little joy. Beauty for all occasions is my obsession.”
- Rose Fulbright
Rose has a profound heritage in the arts. Portmeirion Pottery - founded by her grandmother Susan Williams-Ellis, along with the Portmeirion Village built by her great-grandfather Sir Clough Williams-Ellis, have been deeply influential.
These combined with close family ties to the Bloomsbury Set through Lytton Strachey, a cousin, have seeped into Rose’s unmistakeably whimsical and elegant aesthetic.
imagination
The urge to make life more enjoyable and to improve wellbeing through visual art is at the heart of Rose Fulbright’s creative practice.
Rose believes that with the right imagination, our spaces can be honed to improve our experience of life through the joy of nature and colour, embodied in decorative arts.
The busy lives we lead sometimes mean we hardly ever ‘observe’ a space. Rose wants to make the most of the second where someone sees a flash of colour and beauty on their way past, making it the moment that lifts their mood for the rest of the day.
Nature
Rose is dedicated to working with natural materials where possible. Her fashion designs are all made of silk, cotton or hemp, and she is passionate about the quality of the tactile experience of her work.
Rose chooses to work in watercolour, eco acrylic and non-toxic, all natural wall paint in order to create work that has a sympathetic effect on the eye, as well as on the environment.
Palette
Rose’s use of colour is inspired by her heritage, growing up running around the magical village of Portmeirion in North Wales.
Forever imprinted in her mind are the appeal of clear, bright and soft pastels alongside the grounding tones of earth, sand, sea and foliage. Her palette is wide-ranging, but always uplifting, sophisticated and appealing.
Surface Pattern
Rose Fulbright’s work is characterised by elegant, stylised forms found in nature, and joyful colour palettes.
She is inspired by her upbringing in North Wales and her family’s dedication and interest in botany and biodiversity. Her patterns are drawn and painted by hand to capture the inimitable human imperfections that make a design so attractive, before being expertly applied to a range of products with brands chosen for their dedication to local, sustainable and artisanal methods.
Collaborations
Human relationships are key to Rose’s practice, and she designs and creates specifically to celebrate the joy of connections.
Subscribing to the view that creativity is most potent when ideas are shared, Rose loves to partner with brands to come up with new projects to delight their clients. Whether it be for a beautiful family space that ignites joy throughout the generations, to a hotel where guests create lifelong memories of cultural exchange and interaction, Rose’s work encourages a serenity and joyful state of mind.
