MY NAME IS SARA LEE. I’M A NY-BASED ARTIST AND AWARD-WINNING GRAPHIC DESIGNER, WORKING FULL-TIME AS A MOTION GRAPHICS DESIGNER WHILE PURSUING MY ART INDEPENDENTLY. AFTER GRADUATING FROM THE RHODE ISLAND SCHOOL OF DESIGN AND WORKING IN COMMERCIAL ART FOR MANY YEARS, I REIGNITED MY PASSION FOR DRAWING WITH PROCREATE. MY ARTWORK HAS APPEARED IN BOTH SOLO AND GROUP EXHIBITIONS. MY DISTINCTIVE PAINTINGS HAVE ALSO EARNED RECOGNITION IN MANY ART PUBLICATIONS.
I PAINT PORTRAITS TO EXPLORE THE MULTIFACETED NATURE OF HUMAN EMOTION. I OFTEN DRAW INSPIRATION FROM THE COMPLEX AND SOMETIMES CONFLICTING RANGE OF FEELINGS THAT I EXPERIENCE. MY DISTINCTIVE STYLE FEATURES ROSY CHEEKS, AMOEBA SHAPES, AND VIBRANT COLORS, BLENDING BRIGHT GRAPHIC ELEMENTS WITH SOFT NATURAL FORMS TO CONVEY EMOTIONAL INTRICACIES. MY WORK OFTEN PORTRAYS FEMININITY IN A DREAM LIKE STATE. IN TERMS OF MY CREATIVE PROCESS, I RELY ON PROCREATE FOR MOST OF MY DIGITAL WORK, FROM INITIAL SKETCHES TO FINAL DRAWINGS. PROCREATE ALSO PLAYS A CRUCIAL ROLE IN MY TRADITIONAL PAINTING METHOD, AS I USE IT TO CREATE DETAILED DIGITAL MOCKUPS BEFORE TRANSLATING MY VISION ONTO THE FINAL SURFACE. WHILE I OFTEN WORK DIGITALLY, I'VE BEGUN EXPERIMENTING WITH OIL PAINTING, MIXED MEDIA, AND OTHER TRADITIONAL MEDIUMS. FOR FORTHCOMING EXHIBITIONS, I'M PRESENTLY WORKING ON SOME OIL PAINTINGS.
