ABOUT LEE KNOX

Lee Knox is a writer, author, public speaker and world traveler who picked up a paintbrush and put watercolor to paper while serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in Romania (2003-2005.)
She has been painting pictures from her travel photos ever since.

"I love to travel to big cities and I always return home with lots of photos of interesting buildings, cityscapes and skylines. To me, gazing on architecture is a personal experience, reflecting the features of time and place like few other subjects can. Kansas City landmarks are also a favorite subject. I paint from photographs, adding colors which aren't really there - but should be."

Lee received her Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Kansas and has resided in the Kansas City area for many years. She studied Plein Air Painting with watercolorist Tricia Spencer, through the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, as well as spending time in Italy under the tutelage of British artist Russell Aspinall.

The most frequently requested commissioned works are for people's houses or places of worship.
