What drives an artist to move from traditional painting methods for the raw energy of street art? Rosie Woods, the visionary muralist known for her stunning large-scale works and innovative use of textures and light, joins us for this episode of This is Disruption to shed light on her incredible artistic journey. Discover how a childhood passion for art evolved into a full-blown career. Rosie’s story is a testament to the power of persistence, as she navigates the delicate balance between abstraction and realism in her work, creating visually striking pieces that captivate audiences worldwide.
Rosie opens up about her pivotal transition from traditional painting to street art, spurred by frustrations with airbrushes and a newfound love for spray paint. Hear about her early experiments on garage walls and the invaluable mentorship from the Graffiti Life collective that honed her skills. This episode dives deep into the emotional support she received from her family, especially the poignant memories of encouragement from her late parents and the ongoing inspiration she draws from her siblings and young niece.
Follow Rosie’s artistic evolution as she takes us from London’s gritty street art scene to the vibrant murals of Melbourne. Initially planning a short trip, Rosie’s stay in Australia extended into seven years of artistic growth and personal discovery, including meeting her partner and moving to a seaside town. Explore her seamless blend of commercial work with her distinct style and her (hopefully soon to be fulfilled!) dreams of painting at legendary Wynwood Walls in Miami. From the challenges and triumphs in Melbourne to the culturally rich landscape of London, Rosie's journey highlights the importance of community and self-belief in the world of street art.
