St. George artist Roland Lee is internationally known for his wonderful, transparent watercolors of Southwestern Utah’s “red rock” country and rural scenes from across the United States and Europe, the result of over thirty years of dedication to his craft. In addition to his prowess as a creative artist, Lee’s love of teaching his trade is inherent in every workshop, exhibit, and conversation. Both aspects of this artist’s career and personality are on display at the St. George Art Museum through June in an exhibit entitled Roland Lee: Canyon Country Paintings. After seeing the exhibit you might be surprised to learn that Lee, a graduate from Brigham Young University in 1971 with a degree in Art, did not begin his career teaching his art techniques. In fact, as he was growing up he never even dreamed of a career as an artist.
Roland Lee was born in southern California, where he spent many hours as a child drawing and admiring the magazine and book illustrators of the sixties. His childhood interests spurred him to pursue a degree in illustration and graphic design at Brigham Young University. After graduation, he returned with his wife, Nellie, to southern California to pursue a career in design and illustration. With the birth of their first child in 1973, however, the couple decided to relocate to St. George - to get away from “the hectic chaos” of the big cities of Southern California and in order to raise their family, which eventually numbered five children. In St. George, Lee evolved from the highly successful commercial Designer/Illustrator and Design Director of Lawry’s Foods he was in California to become a St. George art studio owner and art teacher at Dixie State College. He taught at the college for four years, and publication design work at the College led him to the founding of “St. George Magazine” which he co-owned for many years.
