Rosa was born in Italy where she studied Fine Art and worked as a textile artist. She discovered a love for beautiful writing in the UK where she trained as a lettering artist at the City & Guilds of London Art School in 1994/95, graduating with Distinction in Lettering.
Her work includes a wide range of calligraphy and lettering projects, from letter design and engraved or brush-written inscriptions to calligraphy for certificates and wedding stationery. Her main interest is to explore the expressive potential of the written word through various media, including wood, stone, glass and collage.
Rosa alternates working on commissions to creating experimental pieces for exhibitions and sale. She teaches private lessons from her studio and workshops.
She was the Founder Chair of the South London Lettering Association and is a Full Member of Letter Exchange and a Fellow of The Calligraphy & Lettering Arts Society. www.calligraphy-london.co.uk
