Using a palette of rich colours, Rosie Harbottle takes note from the changing seasons, landscapes and plants and flowers to create colourful and poetic paintings that celebrate the natural world and living alongside it.
Rosie is based on the edge of Dartmoor in Devon and works from her studio above a garden nursery surrounded by nature. Working predominantly in oil pastel, watercolour and acrylic on canvas, Rosie’s artwork is informed by the natural world, folk and decorative art and the simple joy of everyday objects
Having studied Illustration at Plymouth University, Rosie spent a number of years as a commercial watercolour illustrator, working across homewares, textiles and stationery before exploring her own voice and creativity during the pandemic and began selling her original artwork in 2021.
Rosie has exhibited across the country including a sell out show at the Garden Museum with lifestyle brand ‘Toast’, as well as at the renowned Charleston House in Firle and regularly exhibits with Eastwood Fine Art in Hampshire.
Clients include: The Conran Shop, Liberty London, Soho House, Blumenhaus Magazine, Anthropologie and Toast.
"Rosie’s art transports you to {these kinds of} pastoral scenes through motifs of trailing wildflowers, dancing insects and frolicking ponies. Inspired by folk art, decorative details and a rich colour palette give these tableaus a delightful and inviting quality." Georgia Murray for TOAST
