Lee

Although many of his earlier pieces were inspired by ancient Egypt, Lee also creates illustrations of birds, transport and London. Lee is also a big fan of the social aspect of Artbox. He gets on very well with everyone, loves to join conversations, and holds the group together with his confident and calm presence. 

He loves all kinds of art and culture and relishes any type of exhibition we visit. Lee always takes part in outings and these, along with his own travels, inspire his work. He tells us his piece The Sea “... was inspired by going to the seaside and when looking at a Cornish artist called Leigh Davis”. 

The dynamic studio and opportunity to exhibit and sell work have been amazing opportunities for Lee to boost his self esteem and confidence. In the studio, Lee regularly works on his fine motor skills and the continuity of his artistic practice keeps his movements fluid. The studio has also bolstered Lee’s independence, as he is encouraged to take charge of his space, materials, and artworks. 

“I couldn’t believe how much it was when I got my money when I sold my art. It was the first time I got paid – I couldn’t believe it. I thought no way would I get money and then I did.

I feel fantastic and it gives me confidence!”
