Roland Lee’s painting “Joy in the Morning” and several quotes by Roland Lee about the Centennial of the National Park Service appear in the July 2016 issue of “Western Art and Architecture” Magazine. In an article by David M. Brown titled “Painting the Parks” he writes: Artist Roland Lee has visited Zion since he was a teenager. “As an artist, it has been not only my playground but also my art studio for over 40 years. The soaring peaks and the winding canyons captivate my spirit and continue to be a source of inspiration for my paintings today,” he says. “As I reflect on the current celebration of 100 years of our national parks, I am grateful for the early artists who helped make our nation aware of the need to protect certain special places. Through their insight, and the efforts of many since, these lands will continue to bless future generations.”
