My name is Christopher Lee and I am a multidisciplinary designer and illustrator. I grew up in Sacramento, California and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in graphic design from Sacramento State in 2006. I've loved drawing for as long as I can remember.

My story is pretty much like every other kid that grew up in the 80's and early 90's: Saturday morning cartoons, Super Soakers in the summer, bowls of sugar laced cereals, fighter jet shaped fruit snacks, Commander Mark and The Secret City, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Disney Afternoons. Those early obsessions have influenced my work and life permanently.

After I graduated college, I moved to Southern California to start my career. Since moving I’ve worked as an art director for the now defunct skate and urban culture magazine Vapors, had a couple vinyl toys released through various channels, and was later recruited to Buck, a place I called home until the fall of 2009 when I decided to finally strike off on my own

I have been independent ever since.

I currently live in Los Angeles with my wife and our awesome dog, Ponzu.

Hi !!!

There is nothing like the buzz I get from creating art that makes people smile. Seeing the world through a different perspective helps us find and appreciate the joy in it.

I have always been a creator of art, fitting in my art practice while working full-time as an Early Childhood Teacher. My weekends, school holidays and evenings were my dedicated creative times.

I am now a full-time visual artist in Canberra, producing works on paper with water-based mediums such as watercolour and ink. I create landscapes in monotype printmaking techniques with watercolour inks that push towards abstraction. My pen and watercolour sketches detail everyday scenes with unusual perspectives and distortions.

My work has been shown in a number of group exhibitions in Canberra and I am currently working on a series of landscapes as the Artist-in-Residence at The Crisp Galleries, Bowning NSW. I am exploring the deep connections to the landscape both from my perspective as an artist to the connections landholders have to their properties.These landscapes will be shown in my solo exhibition at Strathnairn Arts from 29th June until 24th July 2022.

You will find me creating my art in my studio at Strathnairn Arts, Holt ACT. My studio is open by appointment (via my contact page) and on Strathnairn’s open studio events.

I have produced a variety of commissions, both for private and corporate clients. You can check out some of my commission work on my commission gallery page.
