Rosalind Freeman was born into a family of artists. Her father and mother both studied fine art at the Royal College of Art and the Slade School respectively and went on to work as book illustrators and fashion draughtsmen. Rosalind herself studied fine art at the Slade School in the 1960s under William Coldstream and more particularly under Euan Uglow, Keith Vaughan and Sam Carter.



















She decided to paint and teach part-time rather than put her art work to commercial use and found teaching history of art a pleasure that did not encroach on her own painting. Rosalind's most recent works are in Indian ink on paper and are spare and strong, and mostly painted in situ on the beaches of Devon, Cornwall and Dorset. In her own words she explains how the work evolves:

"I am interested in line and also what happens when Indian ink is bled into a selective and descriptive waterwash mark. Working in situ is important to this process because of the interaction with the elements. Accident plays a part, and when a picture 'works' it is always a surprise that results from many years spent painting sea and sky, light, reflection and space."

Rosalind has had a number of exhibitions in London, France and Bath including a succesfull solo show at the White Room Gallery in 2006.
