Rose Willis is a contemporary figurative artist, living in Norwich, UK. Working primarily in oil paint, she has deconstructed her highly rendered early works to find a more immediate style in her current pieces. She is preparing for an exhibition and residency to be held in July, 2026 at the the South Quay Gallery in Great Yarmouth
Curation and research are important aspects of her work, having completed an MSt in History of Art and Visual Culture at the University of Cambridge in 2025, alongside a gallery internship while continuing to develop her artistic practice. Recent work builds on her undergraduate studies in Fine Art at Norwich University of the Arts. She has exhibited her work in group shows and for art prizes in Norfolk and London, such as the Batsford Prize and the Graduate Art Show.
