An unsightly wall in Stoke has been completely transformed into an eye-catching mural – thanks to a group of artists – including Rosie Cunningham.
One of Rosie’s colourful paintings can be seen on a hoarding in Union Street which she undertook during lockdown when she joined a group from Plymouth Artists Together, led by Mike Vosper.
Rosie said:
“Huge praise is due to Mike Vosper who started the group with a handful of local artists, which has now grown to a membership of over 1500. Mike’s enthusiasm for the city and the local art scene is inspiring and bringing fun and colour to neglected corners of Plymouth.
“When he asked me to brighten up a wall on Molesworth Road in Stoke I was delighted to take up the challenge and the quirky end result can now be seen just up the road from the Millbridge Pub.”
The project was made possible by from Cllr Jemima Lang who donated funds her community grant, along with support and collaboration from other Plymouth Artists Together members and the Probation Service who scraped and prepared the wall.
Rosie said she so enjoyed working collaboratively with other artists as she usually works alone in her home studio in Stoke.
Her next project is a commission for a mural for Plymouth Community Homes. When not out and about spreading some colour around Plymouth visitors are welcome to see Rosie at her studio in Albert Road, Stoke.
