C. B. Lee is a Sherman, Texas artist whose roots are in west Texas. He was raised on a farm during the drought of the 50's. Lee graduated from North Texas University and spent 33 years with Texas Instruments and retired from a Texas Instruments/MEMC joint venture in 1998 as Director of Quality. During his years with TI he traveled extensively both abroad and within the continental United States.
Lee began drawing at an early age and picked up oil painting in 1966. As he became more involved in his professional life, painting took a back seat and in retirement, has taken up his passion again. He has won several awards, including BEST OF SHOW, BEST REGIONAL REPRESENTATION, and several JUDGES AWARD. His work is highly sought after in the area and has sold across the country and abroad. Lee enjoys painting Texas landscapes but also enjoys wildlife paintings. Many of his paintings exhibit a smooth technique with few brush strokes. "I find it difficult to leave the painting in an impressionistic state, although some judges have criticized me for being too detailed. That is why I incorporate some pallet knife paintings in my body of work, to loosen my style and build a bit of mystique in the painting to leave a little more impressionistic merit in the finished product. I was hesitant to begin that first pallet knife attempt but soon found myself enjoying the creativity. My best friend tells me it takes two people to paint a picture, one to paint and the other to tell you when to stop. I have trouble stopping, but I am attempting to heed his advice. I have no formal training. I learn from books, trial and error, and attending seminars. I find painting soothing to the soul. It gives me a creative outlet, bringing me in harmony with nature. When you are creating, there is is an added energy that surpasses anything else. Creativity nourishes your spirits sensitivity and enlightens all things that are around you."
