Rosemary Lee

PAS Rydalmere

Rosemary Lee is a Sydney based artist. Her works convey her hometown of Ashfield, Sydney, in the form of urban landscapes and still lifes. Rosemary's work consists of detailed drawings of coloured pencil, graphite and charcoal. She renders her drawings as if they were paintings, covering every surface of the paper with pigment. She conveys the intricacies of urban sites and local flora through a focus on detail and colour. Blending an array of styles, her work creates a sense of drama, chaos and depth in often commonplace settings and passing moments.

Rosemary was the winner of the Dobell Drawing Prize, Waverley Art Prize, Megalo residency, William Fletcher grant for drawing and ADFAS residency. She received the highly commended award in the Tony White Memorial and has been selected as a finalist in the Portia Geach Memorial, Lester portrait prize, Brett Whiteley Travelling Scholarship and more. Rosemary is currently represented by Flinders Street Gallery.
