After moving from London to Chichester during the summer of 2003, Rosie Morgan began working at Bosham Walk.  Her principle interest is in portraiture and she specialises in painting children.  She has four children of her own.

 “My portraits are a collaboration between parent, child and artist.   It would be unreasonable to expect a child to sit for any length of time or to be totally natural and at ease with a virtual stranger.  So I work from photographs preferably chosen by the parent as a characteristic representation.  These are quite often snapshots that capture a fleeting moment in the life of the growing child.

 I focus in on the face, working on a 15x15cm canvas – life scale; transcribing the photographic image into an oil painting.  The resultant work - though a product of intense observation - is not cold photographic realism.  It is a personal and empathetic response both to the face of the child and the motivation that wished to see this image preserved.”
