Rocky Beeson
b. 1998, London
Rocky Beeson is an illustrator and printmaker based in South London. She graduated with first-class honours in Illustration from the University of the Arts London in 2022. Since then, she has worked as a Digital Artworker and Studio Assistant at Atelier JI, and currently holds the role of Print and Artworking Technician at Mr Jones Watches, where she specialises in pad printing and gilding. In 2025, Rocky was selected as one of the Secret 7 winners, with her work exhibited and auctioned at NOW Gallery.
Rocky’s practice centres on playful, tongue-in-cheek illustrations that take aim at the irritations of daily life. Her ‘I see it, I hate it, I draw it’ ethos drives a body of work that is bold, satirical, and rooted in personal observation. Working primarily in screenprint, she transforms everyday annoyances into sharply executed one-offs that blend humour with critique.
At the heart of her work is a willingness to turn the mirror on herself. Many of the behaviours she satirises are ones she candidly admits to sharing, making her practice not just commentary, but self-reflection. Through this blend of honesty and humour, Rocky invites viewers to laugh, wince, and maybe recognise a bit of themselves in the work.
