Artist Statement
"Beauty is an inner sense, and it makes us happy." Etel Adnan
I believe in the power of decorative arts to elevate, delight and inspire. My inspiration comes principally from colours and shapes found in nature, with influences from past art movements, textile designs, fashion, dance, music and literature.
Everything I design or paint starts with a moment of joy. Inspired by nature and beauty in the everyday, I make those moments timeless, to be enjoyed endlessly.
My elegant and joyous work is unapologetically made to please, adorning every surface you can think of.
Human relationships are key to my practice, and I create specifically to celebrate the joy of connections, whether it be for a beautiful family space that ignites joy throughout the generations, or a hotel where guests create lifelong memories of cultural exchange and interaction, Rose’s work encourages a serenity and joyful state of mind.
I want my work to stand out as rhythmic, vibrant and energising as well as pleasing and joyful.
Coming from a surface and pattern design background, I am interested in the decorative arts and their place in the everyday. I love to decorate, from hand painting vintage silk shirts to working on ceramics collections and writing and illustrating children’s books.
