About Florence Lee & co- me!

Sometimes it’s nice to find out a little bit more about the Artist behind the creations…. and maybe discover some projects I’ve been involved in that differ from a painting on a wall.

Artist Statement…

I am very passionate about creating and also encouraging creativity in others. My work is mostly inspired by people, joy, nostalgia and mark making, as simple as that.

I find people, their lives and their physical forms fascinating and it drives me to want to create a version of them. I also often work with “props” in my paintings as they can add a different dimension to a traditional portrait.

I enjoy manipulating materials, mainly working with charcoal and acrylic paint. I experiment with unusual compositions and seeing how far I can push our idea of what makes a “complete” painting to both our eye and mind.
