ELLIOTT, Rosemary

1942 - ?

As Rosemary F. Rogers, she was born at Bexley, Kent in 1942, daughter of Kenneth John Rogers and his wife Doris née Cubitt, who married at Greenwich in 1942. Rosemary studied at Walthamstow School of Art 1959-1963 and following graduation, at the Royal Academy Schools 1963-1966 with fellow students David Inshaw (born 1943) and John Holden (born 1942), her tutors included Peter Thomas Blake (born 1932), William Scott (1913-1989) and Derek Greaves (1927-2022). From 1966 Rosemary was an artist and art lecturer in London, Essex and in Suffolk. She married at Leeds in 1979, Robert T. Elliott and now paints under the name of Rosemary Elliott. Her work as a landscape painter is figurative, there are elements of surrealism in her more detailed works. Rosemary has a leaning to return to printmaking, which she studied at the Royal Academy Schools, making marks on a plate, and carefully controlling each stage of the drawing and printing process, which is inspiring and challenging, particularly with monotype prints. Each monotype print is a unique print and at each stage of the drawing and printing process, the results can be unpredictable. Her awards include the Royal Academy Prize for Good Craftsmanship in Lithography and the Young Contemporaries Prize in 1965, and in 2003 an Arts Council Award to develop a stone carving course in Essex and Suffolk. A member of the Royal Academy Schools East Anglia Group and she regularly exhibited her landscape paintings at Doric Arts Gallery, 4 Albert Street, Holt, Norfolk and has exhibited widely in East Anglia including the Yare Gallery, Great Yarmouth; Wingfield Barns, Suffolk and Mandell’s Gallery, Norwich and in London including Arthur Tooth Gallery and the Piccadilly Gallery. About 2007 she moved from Billericay, Essex to Laxfield in Suffolk and now has her studio at 12 Castle Crescent, Vicarage Road, Wingfield, Suffolk and is a member of the Harleston and Waveney Art Trail.
