Born in New Jersey, Linda Lee
has been in love with art ever since she could pick up crayons and draw on the wall. As a teen she moved to Miami with
her family, later followed a long career in the Hospitality Industry, which included event planning for Hotels, Resorts and
even foreign ports of call and onboard cruise ships.
Always dabbling in clay when she found the time, she created
pieces for family and friends only. Her surroundings inspire Linda’s fun and whimsical style along
with her collection of vintage treasures and textiles. Linda’s signature style is applying hand formed
sculptural pieces to handmade platters, bowls, teapots and other serving pieces. Making each piece unique
but also functional at the same time.
After many weekend getaways with her (now former) husband... to
the quaint seaside town of Fernandina Beach they decided to purchase a second home on Amelia Island in 1996, which
inspired her to pursue her art full time. Experiencing great success selling her hand sculpted tiles
and knobs on eBay, resulted in the building of her home studio, later a website and now living full time on the island she opened
