About Me

Roz Leslie is a Scottish artist working in oil painting, bringing together formal art training with over a decade of professional experience in the lighting industry.

She graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design, Dundee, in 2006 with a degree in Illustration and Printmaking, and completed a Masters in Lighting Design at Edinburgh Napier University in 2014. Growing up in South East Asia, experiencing season changes for the first time late into her teens, Roz developed a keen awareness of how light shapes our perception of space and atmosphere.

Her paintings explore the interplay of light and form through a contemporary, pared-down aesthetic. Working primarily with landscapes and skyscapes, she distills scenes to their essential elements; bold shapes, simplified forms, and carefully considered tonal relationships. This approach brings a sense of clarity and calm to her work, translating the subtle language of light into compositions designed for modern living spaces.

Based in Scotland, Roz creates original oil paintings that bridge the gap between traditional landscape painting and contemporary abstraction, each piece informed by her technical understanding of how light behaves and how we experience it.
