@cecilwmlee
Cecil Lee is a self-taught digital artist whose creative journey began with a passion for photography, sparked at an early age. Her artistic evolution was profoundly shaped by the introduction of computers, which opened up endless creative possibilities and led to the development of her signature style: Computer-Evolved Digital Compositions.
Lee’s work blends photography, painting, mixed media, and digital techniques, seamlessly merging traditional and modern art forms through innovative software tools. By reimagining and transforming conventional mediums, she creates compositions that are distinctly digital yet deeply rooted in tactile artistry.
Her journey started with her first camera, which ignited a love for capturing moments, and her first computer, which expanded her creative horizons. Early experiments with scanned images and digital manipulation led to photo restoration services, and ultimately, the realization of her identity as a digital artist. Today, Cecil Lee’s art is a harmonious fusion of tactile and virtual worlds, reflecting her unique vision and pioneering spirit in the realm of digital art.

As a self-taught visual artist, my work is deeply rooted in life experiences. In my late teens, inspired by my father. I later began exploring photography, painting, and mixed media. The purchase of my first computer opened a new creative frontier, enabling me to digitize and manipulate my tactile artwork. This discovery marked the beginning of my transition to digital art, evolving through photo restoration and experimental techniques.
The term Computer-Evolved Digital Compositions reflects my unstructured, exploratory process as a self-taught artist. Using a blend of photography, painting, and digitally created elements, I combine software and hardware tools to transform and evolve my work into unique creations.
My goal is to use computer-based technology with the same level of artistic ingenuity as traditional mediums by pushing the boundaries of creativity through digital innovation.
