About Rosie Stanton is some-sort-of artist. She is well trained with a Bachelor of Arts n’ Farts from the VCA class of 2021 and well practiced with a slow and steady studio practice of almost pre-teen age maturity.  
She will flip flop (by frustration or for fun) between material visual and the spoken written. With loose allegiance to final form, she nurtures ideas through permutations of possible and impossible expressions.

Rosie’s guiding ghosts are elusive though persistently present: whimsy and resonance, sentimentality and spirit sensitivity, playful absurdity, and mysterious familiarity.

Rosie loves to host workshops, exhibit paintings, perform poetry, write creative essays, and sit a market stall.
But.
Honestly and truly, Rosie’s passion is for serious play and she will fiercely protect her and your God-given privilege to chase the tail of your own curiosity and imagine a happier day.

Leapt Conclusions


15. Since no form is intrinsically superior to another, the artist may use any form, from an expression of words (written or spoken) the physical reality, equally.
