Ives, but brought up in penzance. She excelled at art from a young age, winning national prizes for her illustrations and design whilst still at school. In 1937 she enrolled at the penzance school of art, where she was encouraged to pursue her talent for painting in watercolour. When world war II interrupted her studies she joined the land army, where she enjoyed the atmosphere of the west penwith landscape and felt an affinity with the spirit of her forebears and the mysteries of celtic pre-history which never left her. After the war she completed her art education at the st. Ives school of painting and began to show her work with the newlyn society of artists. In 1972 one of her paintings was accepted at the paris salon, and thereafter her work was often shown in italy and france. She won the diplome d’honneur at the biarritz international salon and the coupe d’antibes at the international exposition of paintings and sculpture in juan-les-pins. Rosemary was a member of société des artistes français, and her regular solo exhibitions toured northern france.
