Most of Lee's original figurative work begins with charcoal. The artist finds immense pleasure in the free-flowing nature of this medium, considering it an extension of their arm. Lee has always been captivated by how charcoal instantly creates striking contrasts and depths on the canvas or paper. The versatility of charcoal allows them to effortlessly infuse each piece with a softness and sensitivity that resonates with both the artist and the viewer.
When Lee takes hold of a charcoal stick, it becomes a conductor of their artistic vision. The charcoal leaves its mark on the surface, capturing the essence of the subjects with each gentle stroke. It has a fluidity that enables them to translate thoughts and emotions into tangible forms. The immediacy of charcoal empowers Lee to convey nuance and expression, bringing their creations to life.

The dance between Lee's hand and the charcoal stick is a delicate balance of control and release. The artist values how charcoal can seamlessly transition from light whispers to bold statements, effortlessly traversing a spectrum of tones. Lee relishes the tactile sensation of the charcoal gliding over the surface, leaving trails of rich, dark lines. This immersive experience allows them to express their creativity and explore the ever-changing nature of their art.
