About Connie Lee:
Connie was born and raised in South Korea. Fascinated by art, she constantly drew throughout her youth, and was especially drawn to realistic illustrations which effectively conveyed depth of emotions. She came to Canada to study Visual and Creative Arts at Sheridan College. During her studies, she learned about the world of portrait arts and was immediately captivated by the beauty of individual personalities, and the various techniques and methods of depicting them. She has worked on cultivating techniques and artistic intuition through the eye of a portrait artist and has many years of experience in completing commission work. Connie has continued her journey of capturing interesting personalities and is committed to teaching and guiding students to develop the skills needed to create expressive portraits.
