Short Bio
Lee was born in Korea. Lee has developed her cross-media, genre-bending approach based on literature and Eastern Philosophy. She received her B.A. in English Literature before turning to the more visual and spatial forms of language, Lee through studying painting and architecture. Her accomplishments include multiple exhibitions in New York, Michigan, California, Massachusetts, England, and Korea. Lectures in Asian art history and studio classes in California, New York, and Texas round out her ongoing commitment as an artist and scholar. She combines her architectural research with the creation of space-amplified painting — a hybrid of painting and narrative-focused architectural space.
