I am Rosie Shaw

about me


I am an artist based in the North of England, working across disciplines but continually drawn back to oil paint and paper. My practice moves between surfaces and materials—each chosen for the particular way it keeps or releases a memory—yet oil and paper remain my familiar places to return.

I create works with abstracted imagery that hold traces of feeling, gestures that echo emotion and layers that suggest rather than declare. My work is as much about what I respond to—what pleases, unsettles, questions and comforts—as it is about technique. I paint to translate my personal experiences into marks that invite quiet recognition.

Each piece is an open space as it is an image; a place for the viewer to find their own recollections and narrative. My hope is that these works linger, maybe in quiet resonance, or thumped hard in the conscience, either way, I want them to begin the conversation.
