Paper art by Bovey Lee
Born in Hong Kong, Bovey Lee moved to Pittsburgh, where she continues to create her art. In particular, incredibly complex two-dimensional work by carving on Chinese rice paper. And the details are simply amazing. Meanwhile, the process of making each creation is quite complex. First, Bowie draws a sketch, then creates a computer model of it, and finally, cuts out. Bovey Lee received her first MFA in painting from the University of California, Berkeley. Also, a second MFA in computer graphics and interactive media from Pratt Institute, New York. Besides, BA in fine arts from the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Selected awards include the Pollock-Krasner Foundation, Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, Vira I. Heinz Endowment, Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council Artist Career Grants, the San Francisco Foundation, among others. Recent exhibitions include Nevada Museum of Art (2012); the National Glass Centre, United Kingdom (2008); Museum Bellerive, Switzerland (2009); Museum Rijswijk, The Netherlands (2010); Fujikawa Kirie Art Museum, Japan (2011); and Hugo Boss at IFC Shanghai, China (2012).
