Born in 1969, Lee grew up in north London and became interested in art after spending many hours watching his grandmother paint. His art education began with an Art Foundation Diploma at the Hertfordshire College and in 1999 he graduated with a BA (Hons) in Art and Design from Hatfield University. Lee draws his inspiration from all that is organic, natural and accidental these can be seen in his latest works where to some degree he has no control. These current works were created by applying lots of paint and gels mixed with water to create a very fluid uncontrollable effect. His basic palette is mostly primary colours and he tries to maintain the purity of these throughout the painting process.
