Rosie Newman is a multidisciplinary and socially engaged artist, an environmentalist and an educator and is interested in how these disciplines are intrinsically interlinked. She believes that artists have a role to play in tackling biodiversity loss and climate issues and improving well-being.
In her art practice, she reuses objects, new technologies, audio, sculpture, painting and events, with an aim to ignite curiosity and connect people, phenomenologically, psychologically, or aesthetically to the local natural places where they live.

Rosie Newman
British documentary film maker and author
Rosie Violet Nina Millicent NewmanFRGS (surname at birth Neumann) (1896–1988)[1] was a British amateur director of documentary films. She is best known for Britain at War of 1946, colour reportage of World War II. From a wealthy background, she belonged to London society circles, and her connections facilitated her film work.
Early life and family
She was the second daughter of Sigismund Neumann and his Egyptian-born wife Anna Allegra Hakim.[2] The family home in London was 146 Piccadilly.[3] The Neumanns were in the social circle of Edward VII, but Anna's pretensions were snubbed by Alice Keppel.[4]
Neumann died in 1916; the family definitively adopted the surname Newman 20 years later, with a change in 1936 by royal licence.[5][6] Rosie's elder sister Sybil married, in 1923 as her second husband, the politician Robert Grimston;[7]The Tatler in 1943 described the sisters as "almost inseparable".[8]
