Rosalinda Kightley
Painter

Rosalinda’s still-life works are filled with colour and playful compositions, transforming everyday objects, seasonal fruits, ceramics and flowers into lively and engaging scenes. Rosalinda’s paintings exude energy and warmth, drawing the viewer in with their dynamic arrangements and expressive brushwork. Her keen eye for detail and bold use of colour give a fresh perspective to the still-life tradition, making her work both joyful and captivating.

Trained in Graphic Design at Kingston College of Art, Rosalinda worked as a book designer before becoming a children’s book illustrator. This background in illustration informs her painting style, bringing a sense of narrative and movement to her compositions. Inspired by countryside walks, Rosalinda’s paintings capture fleeting moments with a distinctive charm, blending her love of observation with a bold expressive approach to painting. Now based in Guildford, she continues to evolve her practice, combining her skills as an illustrator and painter to create works that are both uplifting and full of life.
