Elizabeth Rose is a Dorset-based artist and designer whose practice spans fine art, hand-painted lampshades and colour-led pieces for interiors.

Drawing on a Fine Art degree from City & Guilds of London Art School, a Distinction Certificate in Interior Design and Decoration from The Inchbald School of Design, and 25 years’ experience in interiors, her work explores the relationship between painting, light, atmosphere and the interior.

During the renovation of her Dorset cottage in 2020, Elizabeth began painting lampshades for her own home, extending her painterly language beyond the canvas into functional objects. These hand-painted pieces have since led to commissions for private clients, interior designers and hospitality projects, including The Ned, Max Rollitt and Salvesen Graham.

Her Landscape Lampshades™ develop an ongoing exploration of landscape and memory. Each shade unfolds as a continuous painted surface, wrapping colour, brushwork and atmosphere around the form.

Alongside her studio practice, Elizabeth has lectured at The Inchbald School of Design, KLC School of Design and Chelsea College of Arts. A number of her oil paintings are held in the Royal Collection.
