Rosie Phipps has been painting since she was a young girl and later went on to matriculate in Art and Art History in South Africa, where she grew up. Rosie has lived in England since 1969 and has been living in Oxford from 1977, painting and writing. Rosie’s paintingsare inspired by a philosophical interest in the temporal and the spiritual – as well as sensuality. Many of her paintings have taken not just months but, in some cases years, to complete – resulting in multiple layers of texture, tone and depth. Rosie’s paintings are reflections on life – childbirth, motherhood, fatherhood, relationships, meditation, spirituality, nature, sexuality and dying. The pictures reflect the temporal and the spiritual; the archetypal structure of psyche and the images it provides as we move through life, its seasons and its celebrations.
