Roslyn Kee

Roslyn (Ros) Kee is a self-taught artist from Ireland working in contemporary photography and acrylic painting. She has always had a passion for art from her early days but while spending time abroad in her late twenties she discovered this passion was something she needed to explore in a deeper way.

"Some of my earliest memories are of drawing and painting characters out of storybooks and being very contented for hours on end. Years later when travelling overseas, this love of art seemed to emerge again in a somewhat irresistible way. It started in Africa ...... maybe it was the people and their creativity or just being there that sparked something."

On return to Ireland she further developed her experience in black and white photography before living in western Canada for 18 months. Canada drove the spark to flame and it was here that art became a serious focus for Ros. Back in Ireland she was drawn to the spectacular light and dramatically changing views of the coast of Donegal. The raw beauty and intrigue of this coastline both captivate and delight Ros, ready for the moment to hold her breath ....

"There's a moment when I know the frame I have is right...I can't help but hold my breath before I shoot." ...
