Recognised as one of the most prominent botanical artists of her generation, Rosie’s works have been exhibited internationally and are included in prestigious collections, such as those of the Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation, Pittsburgh and The Shirley Sherwood Collection, Kew Gardens.
Rosie Sanders is largely self-taught, with her artistic talent and style developing through years of dedicated practice and exploration. She has cultivated a distinctive approach to botanical art, blending scientific precision with bold, expressive techniques.
More recently, Rosie has been exploring other media; large landscapes in graphite, conte crayon and oil on Mylar, and oils on gessoed panel.
Rosie is represented by Jonathan Cooper gallery in Chelsea, London, where she has held solo shows since 2002. A selection of her work can also be found at Coombe Gallery in Dartmouth, Devon.
Alongside painting, Rosie enjoys printmaking and is a member of MAKE South West.
Rosie lives and works in Devon. Her passion for nature and relentless curiosity continue to inspire her evolving artistic career.
“Rosie Sanders is one of the UK’s most innovative painters of flowers, a talent who must not be confused with the many traditional botanical artists. She is internationally celebrated for her striking watercolour paintings. Always exciting, her work challenges the boundaries and perceptions of contemporary botanical art.”
