Pui Lee
Pui Lee is a British-born Hakka Chinese artist and arts educator, working throughout the UK. She completed her Foundation Studies, BA (Hons) and MA in Contemporary Fine Art at Cumbria Institute of the Arts and is now based in Gateshead.
Pui Lee's artistic practice is wide-ranging and she works using an interdisciplinary approach across both traditional and contemporary 2D and 3D artforms including: drawing; printmaking; 3D installation, sculpture, Parade Art, and East Asian art and craft. Outside of the studio, she is also a dedicated martial artist, training in Choy Lee Fut Kung Fu and ITF Taekwon-Do.
Her arts engagement and educational work is informed by her practice, which uses scale, space, and process as a means of making sometimes complex ideas more accessible to people of all ages in the community. The work explores personal issues and public interaction - and has included winning 5 award-winning Big Draw! events. Pui Lee is a visiting artist for many galleries, museums and organisations across the North and is a regular Artist-Educator at YSP.
Over the years, Pui Lee has exhibited and sold work both nationally and internationally.

Mind Walk is the latest in an ongoing series of works exploring the idea of one continuous line circumnavigating a three-dimensional form in such a way that the line traverses the entire surface of the stone. The stone in this case is a granite boulder from Bavaria shaped by ‘onion skin weathering’ as a result of thermal and chemical erosion. - Event
