About the Artist
Ros Rowell is a well established Highland artist who has been living and working in the Stratherrick area, South Loch Ness, in the central Highlands of Scotland since the early 1980s. She lives and works on a small croft in Torness, half an hour’s drive from the centre of Inverness. Her Studio and Gallery is open throughout the year and she runs a comprehensive range of Art Courses, Workshops and Classes as well as displaying and selling work at the Studio.
She is expert in painting loose atmospheric paintings, both traditional and contemporary and has exhibited widely in Galleries in Scotland and in London. Currently much of her work is contemporary watercolour and work in mixed media and acrylic inks. She has many years teaching and painting experience and works very spontaneously using "wet-in wet" watercolour method, much of the time, making full use of the unpredictable nature of the medium. Her characteristic trade-mark is that of the very atmospheric highland skies which appear in much of her work.
The Highlandart Studio is situated in magnificent scenery with wonderful views and Ros makes full use of this both in her paintings and in her teaching. Her other enthusiasms include horticulture and traditional music and her family, and these influences creep into her work as well as into her teaching! A motto that inspires Ros is that "Art is an act of creation, not of imitation". A visit to her Studio or to this web-site should hopefully inspire and enthuse visitors and encourage a love of the Scottish landscape and environment and art.
