An increasing amount of Rosemarie's time is spent in working with photographers, many of whom are from the UK. Earlier this month, one such, was a Figurative Photographer from Oxfordshire who worked closely with her over a gruelling day in the studio, where they completed a series of sets resulting in a superb collection of images. As with much of life today - Rosemarie's modelling activities rely on the internet for communication & Introduction to new photographers and clients. There are a number of "Bulletin Boards" where Photographers and Models exchange ideas and often details of new "Castings".
The "New Kid on the block" in this field is PurplePort, which is fast gathering members and users due to its slick and responsive design and support team! If you'd like to see Rosemarie's page on the site and then perhaps navigate around it - follow the link embedded in the logo to the left. | ||

SWINDON |
Nov 20th 2011 |

As can be seen from her work in this web site - Rosemarie's modelling activities cover a wide range of genre. After two hectic days being surrounded by thousands of attendees, press, media artists and photographers at Olympia (see below) on Friday and Saturday, Sunday saw Rosemarie in the more intimate, sedate environment of the regular Life Drawing Workshops that she (usually) runs in Old Town Swindon. These events are extremely popular - more so when Rosemarie makes one of her bi annual appearances as the model, whilst husband Tony carries out the admin (making teas / coffees etc). The session was extremely well received as Rosemarie presented one stunning dynamic pose after another, leaving the artists racing to capture her sharply defined musculature and anatomical detail, which when combined with her artistic interpretation, ensures that she continues to be sought after as one of the UK's most effective and productive figurative models. To top it all though, as this was the final session of 2012, the artists were able to revel not only in the superb poses, but also in the mince pies and double dose of Mulled Wine - Merry Christmas! | ||

EROTICA 2011 Olympia London |
Nov 18/19 2011 |

Attending Erotica is "An Experience" that few would ever forget. The media chronical its progress almost on an hour by hour schedule. The Press hungrily follow its attendees and activities to the delight of many of their readers - those of the Times included. The information of the 21st Century however, dictates that Blogs, Websites and You Tube record & comment on the extremes of the event in detail. None the less it was a surprise for Rosemarie to be approached very early on in her activities at the show BASE METAL who recorded an interview with her which they placed at the No 1. spot on their schedule. Rosemarie's prime activity was in promoting the "Living Lingerie" that she wore at the show, crafted by Sculptor Ken Clarke. However, such was Rosemarie's mpact, that she was continually approached by Artists & Photographers wanting to work with her at the show - and indeed booked her to work with them afterwards!
Interest in her modelling came from a variety of areas - including a UK firm of furniture importers who wanted to discuss an advertising campaign linking Rosemarie's exotic looks to their exotic furniture and wares. Throughout the show, Rosemarie could be seen at the stand of her long term friend - Ken Clarke, who worked with Rosemarie to demonstrate to the growing crowds, the skills of Life Sculpture / Casting. However, for the majority of the time, Rosemarie was kept very busy at the centre of attention for the public and at the centre of publicity photographs. Rosemarie was a smash hit at Erotica 2011, howeveer, planning with her husband Tony and Ken Clarke is already well underway for a new, stunning addition to the "Living Lingerie"range. Superb, bespoke items that are made especifically for you. If you would like details of this year's "Hands on" model - please contact us any of the means on our contacts page. | ||

With so many activities across so many areas of Figurative Art, it is hardly surprising that we generate or are in the news..
Some of these though may be seen as of special interest. Here though are some of the more general stories that
may be of more mainstream to Artists & Art Groups, Sculptors, Photographers and Photographic Clubs or Societies,
Models, Publishers or Art Enthusiasts pursuing an interest in figurative art. Read on now to see “the latest”:-
With most of us thinking of a break over the festive fortnight, taking us into 2012, it comes as a surprise to some, that the Art world continues a pace.
Rosemarie took up a long term commission earlier this month, travelling to Somerset for a studio shoot with one of the UK's leading Figurative photograpers, where in a protracted 5 hour shoot and over 5 sets, a superb series of collaborative images were created.
Rosemarie's taught, toned physique and subtle artistic interpretation combined with the exceptional photographic skills and in particular, the spectacular use of lighting effects,ensured that the set produced a large number of fantastic images.
To top it all off, Rosemarie's partner ,Tony was brought in to carry out the editing work to add the subtle nuances to the images that have made the repertoir of Fine Art UK The Spa Collection and many others,continue to present stunning figurative photographic Art!
News: Magical Modelling in the Malverns. February 2012
SOTFAGs is an impotant part of Modelled me uk's activities - ensuring that high quality Figurative art is available to artists of what ever skill level in the South Central areas of the UK.
Although these monthly events have been delivered on Sundays since 2004, they take a great deal work to ensure that they run smoothly and that the artists are presented with a good varierty of high quality moldels.
Quality and variety are the by words for the model selection - whilst Rosemarie and Tony's "back room" admin efforts ensure the smooth running of the events - even through the flury of cold weather and snow that presented itself at the begining of February. It is a shame that a few SOTFAG members were unable to attend as Jane’s poses (left) were appreciated by all who struggeled through the cold to join February's ighly productive session.
Visitors to this site will be familiar with Rosemarie’s activities as a Photo model.
However, she was delighted to hear that her work as Model and Artistic Director with West Country photographer Martin Smith has been recognised by one of the leading Photography web sites - Net Model as having created “The Best Nude Photograph of 2012”.
This superb shot (left) was one of a series created in a Hampshire barn that included a range of Art Nude (Right), Fashion and Glamour images shot with 2 photographers over a long but rewarding 6 hour period.
Rosemarie’s modelling takes her across the UK and far beyond and so it was an unusual but most welcome request that came in from John Ford to model at a drawing group that he runs, relatively close to hand in the marvellous Malvern hills.
John and Rosemarie had worked together before and so he was well aware of her capabilities when he was looking for the right model to ask to work with him whilst introducing the group to the intricacies of Life Drawing for the first time.
Rosemarie’s experience, combined with her style,
toned form, anatomical detail, artistic interpretation, ability to deliver interesting and challenging poses, meshed seamlessly with John’s meticulous attention to detail and calm approach to tutoring, ensured that the group were moved through a series of poses and were able to create a superb collection of highly credible images - to everyone’s delight!
