Rosi Baxter - Artist
Inspired by a love of medieval manuscripts, I produce contemporary imagery and lettering combined with traditional methods of calligraphy and illumination. The delicacy and enduring nature of medieval manuscripts have been a driving force in my imagery- lettering has always fascinated me - the manner of evolving styles, decoration and materials throughout history.

I enjoy the technical challenge in combining script and image, and have achieved a workable balance between the discipline required for gilding and realism, and the spontaneity of initial sketches and lettering.

Gold leaf on vibrant watercolours contrast with large textured and lettered inscriptional panels, gilded stone tiles and framed calligraphy.

Immediately after graduating I worked freelance for Indesign (London) where my fabric designs sold in Europe & the USA . I later designed & produced calligraphy based Wedding Stationery, which I marketed and sold nationwide - this led to the creation of my distinctive hand painted greeting cards that sell in shops and galleries around the country, including Selfridges and Fortnum & Mason.
