Rona Lee is a contemporary Scottish artist celebrated for her textured, evocative landscapes, inspired by the west coast of Scotland and its islands. Working primarily in acrylics and mixed media, she builds rich layers on canvas, capturing the changing light, seasons, and weather of the places she knows and loves.
Her creative process is improvisational — she works without pencil sketches, developing each piece intuitively until she is fully satisfied. This approach allows her to capture the energy, movement, and atmosphere of Scotland’s dramatic coastlines, transforming familiar landscapes into immersive works of art.
With a career spanning over twenty-five years, Rona began as a tapestry weaver, explored watercolour, and now creates bold acrylic and mixed media paintings. She has exhibited widely across the UK, and her work is held in private collections in Europe, America, and Australia. Rona’s practice reflects her belief that art, like teaching, is a form of communication — a way to convey ideas, emotions, and experiences through visual impact.
Her paintings invite viewers into the beauty, rhythm, and quiet intensity of Scotland’s natural world, celebrating its light, texture, and ever-changing moods.
