Oil on board or canvas

My influences are very diverse. They have been my imagination connected to such things as comic art, surrealism, celestial phenomena and real life. My art is not meticulously planned; it is just me putting what is inside me on to canvas. Sometimes I wonder who is inspiring me to do the art I do, whether it is God or some other higher power (I like to think that) or is it just my natural inclination.

I have had an illness in the past but have gotten over it and now I do art as a pass time and vocation. I am very interested in fantasy art and the beauty of nature as can be seen in my work. I think that a painting should grab a person's imagination and put over some kind of feeling; a good feeling preferably!

Lee displayed his 'Horse Turning into Table' painting at the Pennsylvania Collage of Technology in the Madigan library through July and August 2007 in an exhibition entitled "Where Science Meets Art".
