Rose Grover (she/her)
Hello! I’m Rose, I live by the beach in Brighton where I like to collect stones with faces in them.
I have a passion for people, which has led me to explore everyday moments, situations, and feelings within my illustration. I am heavily inspired by observations of real life, so my sketchbooks are full of drawings of real people which then often find their way into one of my stories.
My studies on the MA have solidified a love for capturing enigmatic characters using inks and paints. Using humour is important to me to create engaging everyday heroes we can empathise and connect with.
