5 out of 5 starsI’m so pleased I accidentally stumbled across Roo’s shop. I love reading and when I saw this print, I just had to buy it. The colours and detail of the books are striking. My parcel was carefully packaged and speedily delivered and the complimentary bookmark was a lovely surprise. Very happy! Will definitely be back, thank you Roo!

Shelf Portraits at Roo Waterhouse Art
Many years ago, while sitting by the fire in an old cottage deep in the Lake District perusing a shelf of dog-eared Penguin paperbacks, I was thinking about how each book has a personality of its own. No two copies are alike. No two owners are alike. We each bring our own story to the reading of a book, and each find a different story within.
I started working on a series of paintings of bookshelves and this led to many conversations with viewers about which books they would have on their shelf and why. Thus the idea of building up a bookshelf reflecting one’s life and loves evolved, and the Shelf-Portrait was born!
It's just me, myself and I running Roo Waterhouse Art.
I love to spend as much of my time as possible in my studio painting my 'Shelf-Portrait' oil paintings of treasured and bespoke bookshelves.
It is exciting to also reproduce my painting images on Fine Art Prints, notebooks, greeting cards and mugs, available here on Etsy.
I have always enjoyed being creative. I started up Roo Waterhouse Art part-time in 2010, and now it is my full time business. Very hard work, but I feel very privileged to be able to do what I love for a living :-)
