Rosie Port’s paintings are rooted in nature and shaped by experience rather than formal training. She did not attend art school; instead, her practice has developed through observation, listening, and hands-on learning. Deeply influenced by the landscapes she moves through, as well as the mentors and creative influences encountered throughout her life, Rosie absorbs her surroundings as a primary source of knowledge. Travel and time spent in new environments continually inform her palette and forms, often guiding the direction of entire bodies of work.

Rosie began painting during a low point in her life, creating without rules, expectations, or a sense of right and wrong. That freedom became essential. Working intuitively and allowing each piece to unfold layer by layer mirrors both natural rhythms and her own healing process. What was once perceived as a limitation has become a strength, allowing her to trust instinct over perfection. Painting has become a space to release control, quiet intrusive thoughts, and reconnect - offering both personal healing and an invitation for viewers to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the natural world.
