Rosemary Beaton - Quotes
“The work is a triumph of drawing and colour, a response which gives us a bolt to our senses.”
Artist Aid Ukraine: Rosemary (pictured in front of two of her glorious paintings) and her team of trusty helpers have pulled off a remarkable feat!
…joyful and fluid paintstrokes are underpinned by rigorous form and a deep mastery of line & form.
Beaton’s draughtsmanship is remarkable, while only a down- to-earth mother could paint such telling images of bored baby, husband and daughter. All humanity is here.
Pure quality is there in spadefuls. Beaton draws superbly, capturing the reality of fat women, skinny men, and her characteristic lively line overflowing with wit. What a star.
“Journey into outer space”
Her work is littered with lips and lovehearts and is flamboyant but never frivolous. Is she a nouveau hippy? Just think Egon Schiele on acid.
“Psychedelic Oeuvres”
This book celebrates 30 years of creative output from one of the new ‘Glasgow Girls’.
Lavishly illustrated with over 150 illustrations of her highly distinctive landscape and life drawings, paintings, portraiture and environmental artwork.

“We are all unique like the impossible snowflake, however occasionally there are people who come to earth a little or a lot more unique than most. Artist Rosemary Beaton (b. Greenock 1963) is one such person. Beaton and her work are a force of nature, a fire to warm your hands by, a beating heart of pure instinct and energy connected to a visual poetic framework outside of words and reason.”
Alison Harper 2017
