Rozie Keogh

Rozie originally trained as an illustrator at Harrow School of Art (Now the University of Westminster). In 1990 she returned to college at Hereford College of Art and Design where she attended the Small Studio Practice course.

Since leaving the course she has made and sold work nationally, producing large-scale pieces as well as jewellery.

Although now working three-dimensionally, she continues to illustrate life and stories with her work.

"My jewellery draws inspiration from historical costume and ceremonial church artefacts. Many of my elaborate pieces contain a narrative, sometimes taken from fairy stories, sometimes from popular culture. The jewellery is designed to be flattering and glamorous but I also like to amuse and at times challenge the viewer.

I use mainly silver and fine silver embellished with semi-precious stones, Swarovski crystals and pearls. However, no material is ever ruled out if it is thought to be suitable for the piece. So it is possible to find anything from a piece of butterfly wing to doll’s house cutlery in some of the items."
