REMEMBERING LEANNE ROSS
Last Friday, we said goodbye to our dear friend Leanne Ross after a long illness.
It’s hard to imagine a world without her, but if there’s one thing she taught us,
it’s how to find beauty and joy in everything.
Leanne’s art was a true reflection of who she was – bright, colourful, and full of life.
As one of the founders of the KMA art group, she brought people together through creativity,
laughter, and a deep love for making something beautiful. She poured her soul and humour
into everything she created, leaving behind not just stunning works of art
but also an incredible sense of warmth, kindness, and wit.
More than just an extraordinary artist, Leanne was a wonderful friend – kind, loving
and always ready with a clever remark or a heartfelt word. She built lasting friendships,
and the impact she made on all of us will never fade.
Though we’ll miss her more than words can say, we choose to remember her with love,
laughter, and gratitude for the time we had. Her art, her spirit, and the joy
and love she brought into our lives will always, always be with us.
Leanne Ross, we love you.

LEANNE ROSS – DIRTY DANCING FLOWERS
Tramway, 25 Albert Drive, Glasgow until 23.03.2025
CLOSED Monday and Tuesday, Open Wednesday to Friday 12 to 5pm, Saturday 12 to 6pm
and Sunday 12 to 5pm
An amazing exhibition of Leanne’s new work is currently showing at Tramway, Glasgow. Working across a variety of mediums including painting, printmaking, sculpture and installation, Leanne has created exuberant and poetic artworks that explore the interplay of text and image. Leanne works decisively and intuitively, arranging dynamic combinations of colour, material, form and language to generate new associations and meanings, with emotive, humorous and poetic results.
Leanne is also heavily influenced by her personal interests, family, food, health and wellbeing. Her current studio is reminiscent of a scout hall which prompted associations with the film ‘Dirty Dancing,’ and the idea of introducing a karaoke stage into the Tramway exhibition, alongside a new body of large-scale text works and paintings of flowers.
