Rosanna Reade is a Northern Irish self-taught printmaker, living and working in Edinburgh. Working with linocut, she has a graphic and illustrative style. Her reduction prints use flat colour and pattern to create detailed imaginary rooms based on memories and storytelling. Narrative is a central theme to her work, building stories about everyday life, using objects, nature, buildings, and animals, with a lighthearted approach. She draws inspiration from artists such as Edward Bawden, Gertrude Hermes and Paula Rego, as well as graphic novels such as Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi.
