Kendra Lee (b. 1987) better known as Kay Lee, is a multidisciplinary freelance artist. As a true Washingtonian, who grew up in a changing and challenging environment, art has always been a “light at the end of the tunnel” outlet and it has given her a way to express herself in the most positive non-verbal way. The passion behind her work allows her to create appealing and yet emotional pieces. She creates with the intentions of leaving an impression on others with her artwork. She wants others to feel something after seeing her artwork, whether, it is joy, sadness, anger, calm, etc. She specializes in acrylic paints, pallet knife paintings and a broad variety of other artistic ventures like logos, digital illustrations, stationary and clay products.
