Rose, Wylie, painter and first British woman to have a major solo exhibition at Royal Academy. Her studio is ‘messy’, she keeps ‘long dead’ cut flowers, and has a rescue cat (called Peter). Rose Wiley had a long break from painting while she cared for family and restarted in later life becoming ‘famous’ in her 70s! She is very active and still painting...so something for each of us here!
