Rosie McLay Art

Rosie explores what it means to be a living thing through her art; capturing the wonder of the human body and the natural environment through intricate copper plate etchings. The Da-Vinci-esq studies are composed of deep, sooty blacks and often adorned in delicate fragments of gold leaf that celebrate the sensitive nature of the subject.

Using this heritage printmaking technique gives a voice of the past which is suggestive of the artists’ choice of a fragile subject matter; death, birth, extinction and growth.
Her art stimulates curiosity on the fine line of beauty and the grotesque, in the belief that the lesser seen or understood deserves more celebration.
