Nature As A Muse, Isabel Lee-Rosson

Isabel Lee-Rosson is an artist and art historian from Abilene, currently living in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
Her work centers on the consumption and degradation of the environment. She explores how plants are simultaneously overly controlled and neglected in man-made landscapes. Her prairie series documents the textures and flora of threatened habitats. Her practice extends beyond the studio to installations of guerrilla gardens and installations in the tradition of Land Art. These installations increase biodiversity, improve soil health, and highlight harmful land management practices. Lee-Rosson earned a Master’s of Art in Art History, Criticism, and Conservation from the University of North Texas in 2017 and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Two-Dimensional Design from Abilene Christian University in 2015. She is the Manager of Visitor Experience at the Nasher Sculpture Center in Dallas, Texas.
