  • Capturing the many nuances of both material and subject, Lee intuits his creativity along an organic path, stroke by stroke, chisel by chisel. He allows his skill and understanding of both to speak in visual three dimensional form, rendering birds, fowl, animals, fish and the human image from each block of wood. A deep respect for wood kindles Lee's desire to honor the living tree and its many manifestations. As a business owner, Lee's career has been in selective logging in the Pacific Northwest for more than two decades. On an island in Washington State, where he calls home, his roots go deep from his early childhood in Alaska, surrounded by natural wilderness to present day. His interpretation of what he has grown to appreciate over four decades comes alive in his carvings.

  • Capturing the many nuances of both material and subject, Lee intuits his creativity along an organic path, stroke by stroke, chisel by chisel. He allows his skill and understanding of both to speak in visual three dimensional form, rendering birds, fowl, animals, fish and the human image from each block of wood. A deep respect for wood kindles Lee's desire to honor the living tree and its many manifestations. As a business owner, Lee's career has been in selective logging in the Pacific Northwest for more than two decades. On an island in Washington State, where he calls home, his roots go deep from his early childhood in Alaska, surrounded by natural wilderness to present day. His interpretation of what he has grown to appreciate over four decades comes alive in his carvings.
