Rosie Good studied at the Byam Shaw and the Royal Academy of Arts under artists such as Norman Ackroyd and Peter Freeth who have both had a lasting influence on her work.

She often prepares surfaces for her work from found materials including maps, old cuttings and discarded paper and wood to embody the idea of history and to capture a fleeting moment. 

She has had work exhibited at the Royal Academy in the Summer exhibition, the Premiums and as a postgraduate at the RA Schools show. She has won prizes and awards from the Painter Stainer’s and The British Academy amongst others and was awarded the Richard Ford travel Award for which she travelled to Spain to study the works of Goya. 

She grew up in London and continued living there after graduating, during which time she produced a series of urban paintings. These were often depicting the undramatic and less noticeable elements of her surroundings from old brick walls to shop fronts but always with a sense of a time passed or passing. 

She now resides in Sussex where she has begun to turn to the landscape and history of the downs and the south coast.
