Lee Spencer, Art Director & Studio Curator

Lee Spencer is a Syracuse NY native but spent much of her adult life in Washington, DC. 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. Her primary art form has always been 2D with an initial focus on grid pattern collages 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 participated in Artomatic, a Washington DC favorite, where 1000 artists showcase their work in a month-long exhibit. Lee was also part of a dual exhibit at Station 9 in Washington DC. Locally, Lee has participated in Black Masquerade, the Revolution show at Gear Factory, participated in Crafted and been a vendor at Wildflowers. She continues to seek opportunities to grow and expand her work and connections in the community.
