Liesl Lee

Liesl has roots from Hong Kong, Macao and Canada. She started recreational art classes at age 4. She enjoys the process of creating something out of nothing. Growing up under the shadow of her older brother, it took her a long time to come to terms with her identity as a girl/woman. She did ballet as a teenager and achieved Grade 8 with distinction. Today, she fully embraces her femininity and enjoys celebrating the beauty of women. She likes to draw the flow, movement and lines of ballerinas, as well as nude models. She completed her MA in Creative Writing at University of Hull in 2024. Her art work is largely inspired by ballets like Carmen, as well as other Femme Fatales. She feels that femininity is extremely powerful, the immensity of a mother, the naivete of a daughter, the sensibility of a wife.
