Right now I am working on three mini-series under the main series theme of "When We Are Children." They being "The Crown Princess and the Chamber Maid," "Eli and Oskar," and "Henry and June... and Anais." I'm a bit obsessed with the first of the three. I have about 15 drawings in progress for it taped onto my drawing studio wall that I take turns working on. The other two of the series I only have a couple drawings for each but definitely will develop further after I finish good amount of the princess and maid drawings. Here are examples from each-
Michelle Jane Lee’s art is minimalist in form yet muscular in content. There is a complexity, density; to put it simply, there is a lot of heart in her often times sparse drawings and paintings.
She is about going back to the moment of childhood possibility before our imaginations become impoverished and our options seemingly circumscribed. Her work reminds us that things could be different, if only we are brave enough to embrace the free fall, letting go of all of our prosthetics that keep us from realizing our freedom.
