Ros Koch (b.1975) is a British-born artist who came to South Africa in 1998. Her artwork reflects her diverse interests and passions, as well as her journey in life. She is an immigrant, adventurer and mother of three children, and these experiences inform her work. Using various mediums, her work explores themes of home, identity, and a sense of belonging. Her style ranges from realism to impressionistic and she enjoys giving her audience the chance to weave their own story into the narrative behind her drawings and paintings.

She studied law both in the UK and South Africa, developing her artisticcareer in parallel. Since becoming a professional artist, Ros has presented three solo shows, taken part in multiple group shows and her work hangs in both corporate and private collections globally. She lives, and works, in Stellenbosch with her husband, three children, and other animals.
