From a young age, Lee constantly dabbled in the arts.  At sixteen, upon entering the Calgary Stampede’s Western Showcase and placing first in the Junior Division, a focus on art was solidified.  Her father, a custom saddle maker and skilled leather worker of forty years, inspired this creative drive.  A self-taught artist, Lee developed a talent in acrylic painting and her twenties were spent exhibiting contemporary western paintings in and around her home town; Billings, Montana. Now in her 30’s she is building an ever growing watercolor and ink body of work.   Lee Walker’s art is represented by several galleries throughout the state, including a painted electrical signal box in downtown Billings and having work accepted for consecutive years into the Yellowstone Art Museums annual art auction, one of the regions largest events.  Private commissions afford Lee unique opportunities, and although specializing in genres of western culture and wildlife, Lee is fond of the challenge and excitement in exploring new subject matter. 2020 brought working with watercolor/ink to Lee’s ever growing practices.
