ABOUT THE TUTOR

Rosey Prince

Rosey began printmaking over two decades ago when she fell in love with the process and possibilities of the medium. Since then she has devoted her time to artistic research and the development of her practice within printmaking.

Primarily concerned with the notion of 'place' and our relationship to it in terms of identity and historical context, her work uses a range of printmaking techniques –  monoprinting and relief printing as well as etching, drypoint and mezzotints. She has recently begun combining print with painting.

Rosey's work is exhibited regularly in London and the UK and is held in private and public collections. She is a member of Artichoke printmakers, and is a printmaking tutor at London City Lit and at the Lewisham Arthouse in Deptford where she has her studio.
