Julie Lee is a Korean-American artist from Alabama working primarily in photography and collage. She graduated with a BFA (Bachelor of Fine Arts) from Carnegie Mellon University and currently resides in Pittsburgh, PA. Lee create lens-based works exploring themes of ancestry, care, and the photography as existential affirmation. She explores these themes through the family album, specifically in the matrilineal lineage that comes through her and the women around her. Her work speculates and encourages new ways of seeing and being seen, conjuring historical and psychological reconstructions of the sisterhood around her.
