This week's Artist of the Week is Rosie Harper. Rosie is a published professional British artist, living and working in New Zealand. She is best known for her amazing Art Deco style paintings....a stunning example of which I have posted here. Rosie's work was published in Society Magazine in USA in 2005 on 3 occasions with her art as their front cover. She works in a mainly Art Deco style with some Art Nouveau and Surrealism mixed in for good measure and tends to go for bright and colourful with lots of detail rather than dark and sombre. Most of her pieces are large and are meant to own any wall they are placed upon. On average, these artworks take anything from 3 months to a year to complete as most are created in oil. The process also involves sketching the idea in Silverpoint and then applying the paint in layers, allowing the paint to dry thoroughly to enable a protective coat of varnish to be applied at the end.
