Rosie has pictures in art collections in the UK and in Italy, France, New Zealand, and Australia. The countryside of East Anglia has been her home for her whole life and its flora and fauna are an inspiration and joy to her, which is often reflected in her painting and print making. She exhibited from Powney Street, Milden near Sudbury, Suffolk at the 'Visions of Sudbury' show at St Peter's church, Sudbury in 2007 'Sudbury Town Football Stadium' and 'The Kisbys' and in 2009 an acrylic 'Mary's Antiques' and has also exhibited at Mill Tye Gallery, Great Cornard, near Sudbury.
