Before residing in Santa Fe, Lee lived in Puerto Rico, for four years. Her art career began in New York City, where she lived for 9 years. She was born and educated in Maine. Lee started her teaching career in Puerto Rico. She is a self taught artist who feels  teaching has become an education in itself for her.

Some of the artists she has studied with are, Charles Reid, Wilson Hurley, George Lundeen, George Carlson, and Glenna Goodacre. On going studying is very important for the serious artist.” Every painting is a learning experience and a problem to be solved.”

Rommel travels and paints on locations rendering small oil canvases and fills watercolor journals on each trip. She uses her small paintings as studies for larger studio work.  Her painting trips have taken her to Australia, New Zealand, Polynesia, Mexico and many trips to France and Italy, as well as locations close to New Mexico, and she journeys back to her birth state of Maine as well.

Lee continues her passion for painting by offering private classes in her studio, painting classes at Artisan Santa Fe , and plein air classes from her studio as well.

Lee has written a small whimsical story about “sheep” with 15 watercolor illustrations inspired by her trip to New Zealand. She also has produced a “photo book” of oil paintings from several painting trips to France.
