Rosanne Guille

Mrs Guille has received multiple nominations for the work she put in to curate the Exile and Return art exhibition that celebrated the 80th Anniversary of the Liberation of the Bailiwick. 
The exhibition involved 10 artists who have local connections to celebrate diversity within experienced and emerging talent. The artwork included paintings, animation, photography, information and artefacts. 
One nominator, Adrian Datta, described the exhibition as a place where people, ‘did not feel forgotten or overlooked but that their experiences had been respected, acknowledge and honoured’. 
‘Rosie has always worked with others in a way that allowed creativity and learning,’ said Mr Datta.
Another nominator, Fiona Richmond, commended Mrs Guille for being ‘hugely supportive of others both on island and elsewhere. The exhibition was well attended and was hugely appreciated by locals and visitors, particularly the generation who lived through the war years.’ 
Being a topic close to home, Rosanne’s grandparents lived through the occupation on Sark and she described it to be an ‘emotional’ project for her. 
‘Working with other artists and learning about the occupation was great. I am thrilled and very proud to have been nominated,’ she commented. 
Mrs Guille has been invited to be one of the participating Artists in Alaska at the end of August and start of September for an Artists for Nature Foundation project titled 'The Heartbeat and lifeblood of an Alaskan rainforest'.
Rosanne will be working alongside other professional wildlife and landscape artists from around the world with the aim of promoting and helping to protect the Copper River Delta and Prince William Sound, their wildlife, indigenous culture and sustainable communities.
She has always been keen both on studying and creating art.
‘I always knew I wanted to be an artist,’ she said.
