Sheron King

Sheron King BA 3D Design, MA Contemporary Design is a multidisciplinary artist and designer based near Plymouth, creating art and design works under the name 'Rosa King Designs'. Sheron is a bright colour and texture maximalist with her practice exploring storytelling or the joy of simply creating, through mixed media: marks, paint, markers, inks, collage, print, stitch and tactile inspired surfaces. Many inspirations come from her own studio collections of vintage textiles, lace, buttons, papers, found objects and ephemera, all with real and imagined narratives. Inspiration also comes from her travels to India and Morocco and more locally, the stunning coasts and moors of Devon and North Cornwall. Inspired by the hidden and found narratives, Sheron often works through landscapes and loose florals creating layered works that evoke joy, memory, place and quiet narratives. Sustainability is central, with many original works incorporating repurposed elements. Alongside her studio work, Sheron founded Mad Hatter Studio, where she leads workshops encouraging curiosity, experimentation and confidence. Whether creating or teaching, her aim is to celebrate creativity and the beauty and joy that emerges through exploration, play and thoughtful craftsmanship.
