Lee Kay-Barry

I am a highly experienced Fine Artist based in London, with a diverse background encompassing teaching, managing art residencies, and collaborating with prestigious institutions such as Christies, Seven Dials, King's Road, The Arts Club, and being represented by a gallery in London. As a Fine Art graduate from the University of Leeds, I have over a decade of experience in practicing and teaching painting and drawing. My accomplishments include being a semi-finalist on Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year.

With a strong foundation in both traditional and contemporary artistic practices, I bring a wealth of expertise to creative projects. My ability to lead groups in art workshops, combined with proficiency in various mediums including acrylic, watercolour, sketching, oil, and ink drawing, makes me well-suited for teaching art. I am eager to contribute my skills to collaborative projects, deliver engaging workshops, and continue pursuing my own artistic endeavours.
