Born and raised in Bangor, Maine, Lee Rommel lived in New York and Puerto Rico before moving to the southwest in 1973. Making her home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, she has been painting and teaching for 40 years, inspiring many of her students to become professional artists. Critics have acclaimed her work as "beautifully sensitive, yet strong and skillful". Multi-talented, she works in watercolors, oils, pastels and sculpture.

Statement: I have been fortunate to have been represented in fine galleries in Santa Fe and the Southwest since 1974. My first gallery was Kachina Gallery on Old Santa Fe Trail. I was working in watercolors at that time. This Gallery closed after 5 years, and I was then represented by Savage Galleries in Santa Fe, Dallas, and Scottsdale for 13 years until that gallery closed. I than went on to Christine of Santa Fe at La Fonda Hotel and was represented by this gallery for 19 years until closing Jan. 1009. Interesting how all three of these galleries were located close to the same cornor of Old Santa Fe Trail and Water Street!
