About Rosie Burns
Rosie is inspired by light and life, her work can be broadly split into two - the figure and the landscape, although fleeting encounters with a scene or scenario also generates work Rosie produces. Helicoidal pattern within composition connects a lot of her work - the spiraling form of the universe, DNA, shells, surf, clouds, can be found in most of her work. Representation of the human form is an ongoing preoccupation - gender, the association of gender roles, femininity, masculinity and its depiction in Art has generated a large body of work in different media - drawing, ink, watercolour, oil and print. Rosie's prolific - she has a large portfolio of work, a lot of it can be seen on her website www.rosieburnsartist.com
