Rosie Emerson is an award winning contemporary artist from the UK, creating unapologetically feminine works on paper. Emerson’s figures draw reference from archetypes old and new, elevating her subjects to a goddess-like status. Inspired by her love of theatre, performance and shrines she uses lighting, costumes, set and prop making, alongside printmaking and painting to create otherworldly one-off pieces. Her creations stem from an exploration of the surface level, both physically and metaphorically. Her interest lies in the sheen, the façade, the presentation, the performance, the stuff of dreams and fantasy. Her photography is inspired by both the drama of the baroque, and ethereal qualities of Pre-Raphaelite works. Other important influences include late medieval and renaissance paintings and magical realist literature.

Her photography is inspired by both the drama of the baroque, and ethereal qualities of Pre-Raphaelite works. Other important influences include late medieval and renaissance paintings and magical realist literature.
Her subjects range from well known icons to models, actors, dancers, friends, which she photographs in her studio. She then uses numerous different print techniques, screen print, photopolymer etching and Cyanotype which use a light sensitive emulsion often painted in circular or arch-shape motifs. The Cyanotype technique enables her to montage objects with real size photographic negatives. The works are often hand-painted or gilded with gold leaf. Emerson describes “the technique itself has an element of magic about it, it was also a wonderful discovery to be able to combine painting, collage and photography in this way’’. Described as an alchemist in printmaking, her screen-prints are delicately embellished with bronze powders and more unusual materials including charcoal powder, ash and saw dust. Her etchings are often delicately embossed with unusual materials. These textural prints shift the focus of printmaking from precision and replication to the creation of unique, hand-finished prints. Emerson's work is widely collected and exhibited both in the uk as well internationally through galleries, art fairs and museums. She also created a new world record by making the largest cyanotype photograph final artwork measuring 46.8 sq metres. She has been awarded bridgeman studio award shortlisted for young masters prize. She currently lives and works by the sea in West Sussex, she undertakes a number of private commercial commissions notably The Doorchester London, and The Waldorf Astoria, New York. As well as brands including Harvey Nichols, The Ivy Club, Sony, Triumph Underwear, Redbull, Toms, P&O Cruises, and Annoushka Jewellery. Her work has also been featured in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Another Magazine, The Financial Times Magazine and The Sunday Times Style Magazine.
We love that Rosie's artworks hold a vintage quality, as if they are lost relics from the past. Her whimsical art often depicts elegant women or intriguing landscapes in sepia tones that are reminiscent of old photographs. We particularly love how Rosie uses unfamiliar objects like netting for dresses and butterflies for hair to create unique compositions that leave you wondering what stories these women have to tell us.

We caught up with Rosie Emerson to discuss her work style, inclusion of unusual materials, and what’s next! AR: When did you realise you wanted to become an artist? Rosie: I’ve never stopped making art since I was a child. Art has always felt like my native tongue. Being dyslexic, I struggled a bit at school, but art was always my strength and solace. I had other jobs in my early career, but I feel incredibly lucky to make a living from doing it now. AR: Is there any particular artwork or artist that has changed the way you view ...
