ROSANNA BISHOP
• MAXIMALIST DESIGNS • CURIOUS NARRATIVES • CONSIDERED CRAFTSMANSHIP. •
Rosanna Bishop is a textile artist and designer, celebrated for her distinctive silk screen-printing, hand-painted compositions, and richly layered, maximalist aesthetic.
Working from her studio and print room in Hove, she creates bespoke textile works that inhabit the space between art, design, and craft — realised as one-of-a-kind wall pieces, couture garments, and interior commissions.
Her practice is rooted in a decade of experience in luxury fashion, with print design and screen-printing roles for Alexander McQueen, Fiorucci, and JW Anderson. Following this, she was awarded a scholarship by the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust to pursue an MA at the Royal College of Art, deepening her technical mastery and conceptual approach.
Now working independently, Bishop’s clients include Fortnum & Mason and Searcys London, alongside private collectors and leading interior designers. Her work combines traditional processes — silk screen-printing, hand painting, and gold leaf gilding — with unexpected materials and ideas, producing works that are both visually arresting and conceptually layered.
Playful yet profound, her collections have explored themes from the beauty of decay to the breaking of taboos, inviting viewers to look closer and reconsider the familiar.
