Art can be a powerful tool for discovery. Through the act of making art, we are often confronted with our emotions, thoughts, and desires. The creative process allows us to explore aspects of ourselves that may otherwise remain hidden. As artists we are developing a tool to become more sensitive - allowing us to look more closely and interrogate the way things have been presented to us, expanding the way we look at, and interact with the world. My job as a mentor and tutor is to help you navigate this journey.

As we engage with materials, colors, and forms, we uncover new layers of our identity, becoming aware of our fears, our dreams, and our strengths. Whether through deliberate exploration or spontaneous expression, art offers a space for introspection and personal growth. It becomes a conversation between the artist, their subconscious and how they relate with the world.

Through an art practice, we gain not only a deeper understanding of our personal narrative but also a profound connection to our sense of purpose and meaning. In the process of making, we may find clarity, confront vulnerability, or discover new perspectives on the world around us. Ultimately, the act of creating art is an ongoing process of becoming—of evolving and learning who we are, what we value, and what we seek to communicate.

Other Resources:

On Substack, Rosanna also provides a valuable resource where she shares her ongoing research and reflections from her personal practice, exploring ideas that motivate her, sharing the processes and technical skills she uses to realise them, as well as drawing attention to artists that challenge and inspire her, and writers, philosophers and music she is exploring. 'In the Studio'.

Rosanna is a wonderful tutor and mentor. She is very thoughtful, warm, and engaged. She has a deep knowledge of art history and painting techniques as well as contemporary art, films and culture, and has offered really stimulating inputs and reflections which have stretched my painting practice.

I feel very lucky to have had Rosanna as a tutor at a point in my practice where I’ve been moving into unknown and at times quite vulnerable territory.

Working with her has given me more courage to be true to myself and trust in what is emerging. I can imagine the process would have been much harder and less fun without her. I would highly recommend her as a creative mentor.
