about

amy Louise lee was born in england, yet has spent most of her adult life in new york city. she recently moved to the countryside in the sourland mountains, nj. having studied and worked professionally with some tremendous well-known talent throughout the world, being an artist has been her passion and life for many years. as an artist she finds tremendous pleasure in taking crude, unrefined materials and transforming them into the elegant and familiar. amy’s art is a reflection of her enthusiasm for warm, minimalist sophistication, embracing the design philosophy of wabi sabi. no matter the medium, her creativity is almost exclusively inspired by nature. the raw yet elegant, tactile essence of her work is a true expression of her artistic sensibility. 

artist statement

my inspiration comes from science and nature, being completely fascinated by the smaller details all around us, while most see a tree, I see the texture and detail of bark on that tree, wanting to learn and understand why the bark is the way it is. I indulge in my surroundings everyday by keeping my curiosity alive and by constantly wanting to learn. Taking nature classes or reading books on math in nature keeps me intrigued and fascinated. there is so much beauty and chaos in the tiny details, which I am forever trying to recreate by using different tactile materials, such as raw metal, glass and burlap. 

my artwork is my way of expressing abstractly what I see, sense and learn through nature: simple, yet complex humility.
