| ABOUT ME |
Lee Harvey Roswell paints obscure and comic scenes in oil paint, focusing on realistic, detailed rendering and whimsical invention. These imaginative scenes are the inspiration of his observations and colorful past, with a underlying theme running throughout of rising above one's troubles. In his own words, "if it’s to be thee human experience, I’m doing it with Adversity's most beloved target... the one that bounces back, the Clown. That's the trick of it see, bouncing back." Lee was born in Freefall, New York, is self-taught in all his mediums, and now lives in San Francisco with his wife and cat. He does a number of gallery shows here and elsewhere every year, has been featured in several top art publications over the past decade. His work is showing and being collected world wide.
