Peggy Lee

Human connection is about being of a selfless nature. Over the years, technological advances have surpassed our expectations, and has left both a positive and negative imprint on our lives. In the past, communication was necessary and vital. Today, slowly our ability to look at the world and issues in our relationships seem adversely affected. We, as a society are more isolated than ever. So, indirectly my paintings reflect the need for more unity, togetherness, and equilibrium. To return to a certain level of personable relationships and to have an understanding of what tradition truly means, is my main message. To reach out and use our naturally given senses to make a difference in humanity is also another idea. Ideally together, I wish that we can all gradually produce a small change and confront the concerns of today. My works can be seen as a huge cobweb in it's entirety, which ironically mirrors how technology works. It represents our obsession with networking, and the need to return back to morality, respect and a love for humanity. My wish is for the continuation of inspiration by the mutuality in people and for the reliance or comfort in another human being.

Peggy Lee was born in Seoul, Korea and has lived in the United States for a long period of time. Having been educated with a bachelors of fine arts from Korea, she studied art in the United States as well. Since the beginning of her stay in America, she has been educating art students for over 15 years, while managing an art career for herself. She has a strong work ethic and keeps busy as a full-time artist. Her level of creativity is outstanding, and her stamina to continuously produce works is endless. Peggy's work has influenced both Korean and American culture. While teaching her students throughout the years, she observed a pattern in their lifestyle, which came about through social media. Due to the overload of technological information, she slowly began to see that these students were dissipating into their own world of isolation. Peggy's works can be seen as a huge cobweb in it's entirety, which ironically mirrors how technology works. It represents our obsession with networking, and the need to return back to tradition, unity, and a love for humanity. Her work continues to be inspired by mutuality in people and building relationships.
