Since the 1970s, printmaking has been Rosie Scribblah’s preferred genre, underpinned by her life-long obsession with drawing. But when Covid19, “hit the planet”, Rosie’s art practice took a surprising and fascinating diversion.

In her exhibition for September on our dedicated exhibition website, Rosie shares the journey from her first experience of drawing to her most recent artwork.

Rosie talks about her life-long obsession with drawing and how Covid-19 has temporarily diverted her from printmaking, her preferred genre for decades.

And since the lockdown began back in Spring 2020, I have been painting more or less every week with Ed Sumner’s live tutorials on the Cheese and Wine Painting Club on Facebook. Ed teaches painting skills by copying work by great artists and I’ve found myself whiling away the pandemic by painting. It’s become a bit of a compulsion, picking up paints after over 40 years.” Rosie Scribblah
