She first encountered woodcut at 19 during her foundation diploma in Bristol, UK, where she created huge life-size portraits of British farming and pasted them on abandoned walls around the city. Her interest in Printmaking took her to Mexico, where she visited various Printmaking collectives and began to understand the potential for Print as a means of communication and a collaborative process. In 2016 Rosanna co-founded Cato Press, where she prints, and teaches. Many of her prints explore themes of agriculture, horticulture and the natural world.
