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.
