Roxy Walsh is an artist working with paint and words.

Roxy Walsh is an artist and a writer moving from a painting practice engaged with fiction and biography towards autofiction and ekphrasis.

The work, whether watercolour or text, uses figurative, symbolic, and abstract means. The more recent work in painting is architectural and abstract: concerned with materiality more urgently than with content. The writing reverses that priority whilst remaining deeply engaged with visuality and feeling. Dependent Rational Animals was a collaborative project with Sally Underwood, a sculptor based in Berlin.

I have worked as a studio tutor (0.5) on the BA Fine Art and History of Art at Goldsmiths since 2008. Since 2021 I have been co-programme leader for the Fine Art element of the course (0.75). Teaching and admin days are Wednesday to Friday.
I have supervised two PhDs to completion (listed below), both of which have been a pleasure.
