Rosie Burns is an artist, her work is a vibrant exploration of light, life, and the interplay between humanity and our environment. Experimental printmaking processes challenge depictions of gender, environmental concerns and push the boundaries between print and paint. More formal painting and illustration celebrate our natural world. Rosie initially trained as an Archaeological site and find illustrator, then went on to train to teach art and design in Devon; she worked in state education for over 20 years. Rosie has exhibited her paintings and prints locally, nationally and internationally for over 3 decades, participated in Art for Social Justice exhibitions in Miami, Berlin and the 24/26 Venice Biennial: WWW.ROSIEBURNSARTIST.COM
