About me
My name is Rosey and I have a passion for painting! From a young child I have always loved art in one form or another and this passion has continued to grow over the years so further education in this subject was always going to be a must. I completed my foundation diploma in Art & Design at Cambridge Regional College and went on to Norwich Art School to study Fine Art. In 2007 I worked as a picture framer for 7 years then went onto manage the Craft Center I worked at for the following 8 years. Teaching was something that had never crossed my mind before but I soon realised it was another passion of mine. In 2017 I started Painting Passions and have not looked back since. I continued to work alongside running my business then finally decided it was time to go for it in April 2023. I'm very happy to say that this is now my full time job and I LOVE IT!! I never imagined I could have made my business into what it is today but it shows, if you have a passion for something, anything is possible! Dream big!
