Kym Lee is a Melbourne-based Visual Artist & Designer with a degree in Bachelor of Art, (Fine Art) & (Digital Design).

Driven by a profound love for animals and a belief in kindness and empathy towards all living beings, Kym’s art takes various forms, such as painting, sculpture, illustration, and digital art. Drawing inspiration from personal and collective memories, and the beauty around us.
Art allows me to connect with my creativity, growing up I always had a passion for art, immersing herself into an Airbrush business winning many awards and later following my dreams of exploring the world and creating narratives that deal with concepts of intelligence, connections, and fragility through painting and sculpture.
Artwork Themes & Subject Matter
“A moment unfolds, inviting contemplation and wonder amidst a tapestry of diversity. It reminds us that intelligence and connections are inherent in all living things. As the park resonates with the sound of heartbeats, it beckons us to embrace and explore our differences, revealing the essence of uniqueness and beauty.”
‘Whispers of the Park’ is a captivating exploration of both the tangible and metaphysical aspects of existence within a park’s nocturnal atmosphere. Through her body of work the four paintings weave together narratives that encompass contemplation, interconnectedness, fragility, and the pursuit of knowledge.
Kym Lee’s vision transcends the canvas to embrace profound philosophical themes, resonating with the beauty that surrounds us while inviting viewers to delve into the depths of the human experience.
