Rosie Beard

Illustrator

Rosie Beard is a London-based illustrator and embroiderer. She graduated from the London College of Fashion with a BA in Fashion Illustration. Her work is characterful, playful and frequently erotic. It usually describes fairy tale-like characters and figures from folklore. Beard works mainly in pen and ink, and has carved a niche for herself in fashion with her freehand and sewing machine embroidery techniques, describing anything from repeat patterns inspired by vegetables to entire bedspreads.

Rosie Beard now works as a freelance illustrator and embroiderer. She previously worked for the milliner Piers Atkinson; her embroidery hovering over the face on fine tulle veiling, and her passion for colour and technique leading to her former role as his Head Buyer sourcing fabrics and materials.
