Rosie Musgrave

Rosie was apprenticed before studying figurative sculpture in clay, wood and stone at Sir John Cass and City and Guilds, London. With her young family she ran a smallholding in Cornwall and on moving to Devon worked in complementary health. Her early training as a physiotherapist and subsequent practice as a somatic therapist have helped shape her work.

Twelve years ago, Rosie caught stone-carving ‘by the tail’ and has been carving ever since. Whilst her early work was predominantly figurative, she is now increasingly exploring the abstract.
‘I am challenged not only by those sculptural conundrums concerning the potency of form, space, light and shadow, but also by an ancient and enduring material whose qualities of stillness, sensuality and presence continually touch and inspire.’

Rosie lives and works on Dartmoor.
