Rosalie Oakman is a multidisciplinary artist, using textiles, drawing and painting. She joined Felstead shortly after her MA in Textile Design from the University of the Arts London, where she trained in textile design with a focus on sustainability. She has a Bachelor in Fine Arts from the Beaux-Arts d'Angers, in France.
Rosalie is fascinated by the themes of anatomy, psychology, sexuality and mortality, listing Egon Schiele, Jenny Saville, Lucian Freud, Louise Bourgeois, Tracy Emin and František Kupka as influences. She endeavours to paint and draw people, her intent is to examine the contradiction and correlation of spiritual strength, human body, sexual representation, and feminism in our society.

I am on a degree about sustainability and I want to raise the question of “how sustainable are our samples?” I decided to join in a big patchwork my samples that I was currently doing to teach myself the technique. Making them a whole and giving the possibility of endless growing. What do you think about sustainability and samples? What happens with you sa
