Virginia lee: Mythic art, illustration, children's books, sculpture, pastels, oils, commissions

Born in Devon, England in 1976, I started to draw and sculpt surreal things from quite an early age. After studying art and design at Exeter College, I embarked on a degree in illustration at Kingston University, where I did much of the work featured on this website.Shortly after graduating in 1999, I was lucky enough to work as a sculptor for the "Lord of the Rings' trilogy in New Zealand, creating archetectual details, fountains and statues for the sets. When the film production had finished, I went onto sculpt highly detailed, collectible wall plaques of scenes from the films. Currently residing in Brighton, I have been devoting some of my time to sculpting and painting for exhibition, but mainly I have been focusing on my illustration. 'The Frog Bride''is my first children's book and is now available to buy, and I have just finished a book about the greek goddess 'Persephone'. If you have any queries regarding my work, please email me at info@virginialee.co.uk
