After retiring from over 30 years as an educator, Lee decided to  
pursue her love of drawing and painting. She had taken some art electives while pursuing an
education degree and says she can always remember drawing as a child, especially animals,
birds, and flowers,  however, she needed formal training., so a great adventure began.

Since retiring in 2004, she has taken watercolor and pastel workshops and classes from various
artists.  She took a watercolor class at Queen's College, studied briefly with artist Harris Holt in
Charlotte. and a workshop with Susan Crouch.  After her sister-in-law  introduced her to pastels,
she found a medium she really enjoyed.  Lee has since studied under Shelley Keefer at CPCC,
nationally known pastelists such as Susan Mayfield, Virginia Dauth, Carmella  Jarvi, Terry Ludwig,
Greg Biolchini from Florida, Margaret Evans, and others.   She presently attends classes with
Charlotte artist Greg Barnes.

Lee says, "I still have so much to learn about the use of color,  composition, and more."
She enjoys painting landscapes of places she loves,  the simple beauty around her, vacations, and
more. She also feels privileged to create paintings for other people of  their favorite places.  "
Sharing a moment in time, or the beauty of God's creation is a joy I want to share."
The Falling Rivers Gallery is a cooperative venue of the Stanly Arts
Guild. The Stanly Arts Guild is sponsored in part by the Albemarle
Improvement LLC, the Stanly County Arts Council, and receives
support from the North Carolina Arts Council, an agency of the
Department of Cultural Resources, and the National Endowment for
the Arts, which believes a great nation deserves great art.
