Jaine Rose lives in the Cotswold town of Stroud, happily making art in her plant-filled and colourful studio in the corner her attic house. She’s had a pretty wild journey through art, parenthood, and the alchemy of women's circles and rituals. He work is an ongoing enquiry into women's spirituality which I see as the dynamic and ever-changing way that we reclaim our innate connection to a vast realm of magic. She works unapologetically with bold and vibrant colour, combining portraits, with flowers, magical creatures, trees and hills and other wonderful, often abstract details. Says Jaine, “I could talk endlessly about witchcraft, and our beautiful land that is worth fighting for. Or my insane love of cats, all animals, starry skies, lying in woodlands staring up at the trees, of all the things that fill me with wonder. Also all the things that have the power to move me, or even break my heart. So many stories, we all carry them.

And so I ponder this as I travel relentlessly and obsessively between the oceans of the West, and the oceans of the East, magical places where witches be. My heart places.”
