Rosie Scott is an artist who has developed a unique poetry in her work. Her images are often developed from sketches of a special place like her childhood memories of St. Just in Roseland creek; the mist on the water, the lit path that leads from the church there in its own sacred garden, these memories are glimpses of a safe place in Rosie’s memory and her images transfer you not to a literal place but a glimpse of that golden light in which that memory is held.

 

Rosie has a special place in Venice remembering a beautiful November spent there, she also revisits a Majorcan orange tree, a motif etched in her memory and remembered so vividly in her paintings.

​

There are many examples of this allegorical approach that we have seen through working with Rosie for over 20 years; not least the calligraphic silhouette of a Tall Ship sailing towards the horizon in her defining piece, 'Rite of Passage'.

​

Her sensitivity is transparent in her work, with its beautiful coloured grounds and fine brushwork whether in watercolour or oil on linen.
