Rosie Copeland

Rosie grew up in the Cotswolds and gained an M.A in Art History from Edinburgh University in 1993 before pursuing a career in London. Her passion for art and painting has been lifelong, but it was not until she married and was raising a young family that she returned to study fine art more formally at Putney School of Art and Design and Heatherley School of Fine Art in Chelsea. Rosie currently lives and works in Hampshire and London.
 
In the last few years, she has exhibited frequently in London and the Home Counties including The Affordable Art Fair, The New English Art Club and The Royal Society of Oil Painters Annual Exhibitions at the Mall Galleries as well as being a regular at the Moncrieff Bray Gallery in Petworth. In 2019, she was elected a member of Chelsea Art Society and is currently a Council Member.
 
Rosie works mainly in oils but enjoys experimenting with a variety of techniques in acrylic, watercolour, pastel and charcoal. Her practice is based on painting and drawing from observation either outside in the landscape or back home in the studio working on still life or the figure. Rosie has developed a painterly expressive style and seeks to capture the essence of a subject and explore colour, light and form.
