Rosi Lister has had a thirty-year career in art and design education and heritage management. The daughter of an award-winning modernist architect father and theologian mother, she grew up in a bohemian household with three siblings, rather surprisingly, in a very rural east-riding village of Yorkshire. At the age of fifty-seven, as a result of a number of life-changing and coalescing factors, Rosi threw it all in, took early retirement and bought a Georgian doer-upper in Scotland, where she now lives with partner Ant and their Jack Russell Tig in a state of ongoing creative chaos.
