Sculpture
 Modelling for a sculptor takes on a new set of disciplines that for many models are not attainable. A close rapport between the artist and model is essential if the piece is to succeed mere respresentation and become " ART"
Artists and Sculptors working with Rosemarie, can either engage her services exclusivley in a private commission, as did Hamish and John Jebb, or model from her in class or Workshop environments such as exists in:-
In any case, - a good piece - even of a small size - demands long days of work prior to being ready for the kiln. A typical piece - such as that seen below which stands less than 14" tall, required 3 days at the artists studio spread over a period of three weeks.
Each long arduous 9 hour day entailed Rosemarie holding and resuming the exact same position, whilst the artist continued to hone, polish and embellish the piece until it began to reach his exacting requirements.
Through it all, the model must also endeavor to deliver that "Spark" that "Special Something" that drives the artist forward to explore his creative horizon and produce a piece that is truly "Art" rather than a tame copy of reality.
In this case, the partnership between the renowned sculptor Hamish Mackie and Rosemarie has undoubtedly succeeded as you can see below.
Once the final piece was completed and cast - as a limited edition of 12 copies,
it was made available for general sale in mid 2005. You can see more of
Hamish's work on his new web site by following this link.

Rosemarie's modelling were only inches high, - finely detailed pieces of art to be studied indoors at close quarters.
She embarked upon an entirely different form of
sculpture early in 2005 with a Sculptor John Jebb who creates his work between his studios in California and Portland in Dorset.
His work is of the "Monumental" category, - the piece to the left, - being 72" high and of Italian marble on California Sierra White granite base. That to the right, 24" of Pink alabaster on South African Impala granite base.
The collaboration between John and Rosemarie started in early 2005 but their efforts in the studio did not actually commence until nearly one year later in January 2006 when they met for their first session in John's Portland Studio to work on a piece blocked out in the small ( 5"x 1.5" x 3") maquette seen to the right.
From January 8th a photographic record of the progress on the piece was undertaken by the Fine Art Photographer Tony Orwin and updates published on this web site in the News pages and also on the Special event page reached by this link.
