The Wonderfully Wonky Illustrations and Ceramics of Rosi

Bristol-based illustrator and ceramicist, known simply as Rosi, tackles our ideas about beauty in a light-hearted way that doesn’t come off as preachy. Focusing mainly on the female body, in all its messiness, her illustrations allow for a conversation about the perception of womanhood in the age of Instagram and Facetune.

“I cover a lot of topics and themes but generally they’re all centered around women and women’s health,” she explained in an interview with Inky Goodness. “As someone who has struggled with body image and the female body I want to share my experiences and shine a new light on certain topics such as body hair and body image.”

Since graduating from Oxford Brookes University, having studied Fine Art, Rosi has managed to make a name for herself as both illustrator and graphic designer. “I would love to work solely for myself and be a full-time illustrator and ceramicist,” she says. “I also hope to have a small studio where I can teach a few workshops.”

In the meantime, her Instagram following has grown to a respectable size of over 6k, pushing the conversation about body image forward.
