Rosalie spent her childhood on a rural property in the South-East of South Australia, where she developed a deep love of nature which has endured, encompassing all aspects of our natural environment.
In her art she endeavours to recreate examples of the beauty and variety of nature, bringing her paintings to life by creating a 3D illusion through a 2D medium. From her own photographs she uses light and shade, and vibrant colours to showcase the beauty of her subject.
Rosalie has always had a creative spirit, enjoying many forms of art and craft, including mosaic work, sewing and needlework, chalk painting, gardening, and sketching. 7 years ago, due to her love of plants and flowers, she began acrylic painting on canvas after completing a “Blooms” painting course in Kapunda with artist Jacqueline Coates. She also travelled to France to spend time following the path of the Impressionists and gain inspiration from such places as Monet’s garden in Giverny. She is currently also exploring water colour and oil painting through a variety of courses held at “Splashout Art Studios” in Marino, SA.
With an irresistible urge to keep learning new and different techniques, Rosalie’s work continues to evolve, but always with an underlying love and respect for our beautiful country. She currently lives in Adelaide, South Australia. |
