Rosie Mclay

Swapping her needle drafted etching plates for a big brush on the wall, the Bristol and Hay-on-Wye based artist is painting for Upfest. Her work explores what it means to be a living thing; capturing the wonders of the natural world and human body predominantly through unfathomably intricate mark making. Her signature hatched style gives a voice of the past which is suggestive of the artists choice of fragile subject matter; death. birth, growth and magic.
