Rosie Scott Massie has recently set up her studio on returning from Carlisle College of art. Her work, although very different from the other artists in her family shows a shared love of colour. She says:
My work is about the collection and preservation of memories through photographs or small found objects that are usually discarded. I work in collage, using gouache, decorative papers and found two-dimensional objects such as postage stamps, gift tags, tickets, and lines of text to create a sense of rebuilding a past experience or feeling. |

| I am interested particularly in the theme of travel, and like to work with motifs such as boats and planes to create a sense of adventure and exploration. I am particularly influenced by the work of Peter Blake, and take inspiration from his use of bold colour and graphic patterns, which I feel bring out the sense of reminiscence and celebration in my work. |
