Lee Spencer, Artistic Director

 & Performer

Lee Spencer is a Syracuse, NY native, but spent much of her adult life in Washington, DC. Lee relocated back to Syracuse, NY in 2014 and has worked to make her way in the art community. As her primary career, Lee works in education, but art and creating have always been an important part of her life. Lee’s artistic mediums have shifted and expanded over the years. Initially, her primary art form was 2D with a focus on grid pattern collage using mixed media. She also utilized this grid pattern collage concept, updating and creating 2D surfaces on found furniture. 

In 2009, Lee was a selected artist in the Washington DC “Red Bull Art of Can” exhibit held at Union Station for her 3D Corset submission constructed using Red Bull Cans. In 2015, Lee shifted her focus to primarily acrylic paint and relief printmaking. 

Lee has participated in many different art exhibits and art markets over the years. She most recently participated in Artomatic (April and May 2024) for a third time, a Washington DC favorite, where 1000 artists showcase their work in an exhibit over a month-long. In addition, Lee had an art piece included in the Pride Exhibit at Art Hauss in July and August 2024 located in Syracuse, NY. Locally, Lee has participated in Black Masquerade, the Revolution show at Gear Factory, participated in Crafted, and been a vendor at Wildflowers. Lee has been an integral part of the creative team for Deviant Productions, supporting installation art for Thinning of the Veil and Under the Umbrella, both immersive art and dance productions (2022 – 2025). 

Making her way in the creative world has always been a focus for Lee. Expanding her skillset, artistic endeavors, interests and mediums is ingrained in who she is. Lee continues to seek opportunities to grow and expand her work and connections in the community.
