Rosy Hewitt

Rosy was born in Sydney and semi-retired to a large property in the hinterland of Byron Bay in 2000. She has since retired to northern NSW. Until 2007, she had not picked up a paint brush since leaving school. She is basically self-taught.

Whilst holidaying in Hobart in 2007, Rosy’s love of detailed botanical drawing and painting was ignited after seeing an artist’s water-colour collection of Tasmanian flora. This led her to complete a Botanical Art External Course with international tutor and artist, Leonie Norton in 2008 and she has been a dedicated Botanic Artist since.

She joined the Botanical Art Society of Australia in 2008 and exhibits annually in “Flora” and “Botanica” in the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney. She is also a member of the Botanical Artists’ Society of Queensland and exhibits annually. She has exhibited in Canberra Botanical, Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show and her paintings are hung in private collections.
