Biography
Rosalie is a local artist who lives at Palmtree north of Toowoomba. She has been painting for many years and her inspiration is nature and her strong sense of connection with the land where she lives. Rosalie's art style and materials used alters depending on the project she is working on. Her art projects include portraits and stories of Ravensbourne residents, exploring their connection to land, turning 60 and experiencing the release and letting go that brought in the form of paintings of dancing ladies, experimenting with landscapes, oil pastel and ink, art books, monoprinting and a range of other techniques. Her previous project explored the stories that provided a sense of place in mixed media works and a book. She is currently exploring the beauty of grasses in her artwork.
