Cecil Lee is a native New Yorker who has emerged as one of most varied, accomplished and prolific computer artist in the New York. He is a self-taught visual artist who began drawing in his late teens and later became an accomplished photographer in his twenty's, no doubt influenced  by his father Cecil Lee Sr. who was an amateur photographer. Between father and son they have portrayed photographically over fifty years of 20th century Harlem.

Purchasing his first computer in 1985 Cecil has matured as a computer artist and web designer* by being an active participant of the computer revolution. Without formal training Cecil has developed his ability naturally, learning techniques through trial and error. His painstaking attention to detail and bold, bright colors are trademarks of his work. Add to that his use of African/Haitian/Aborigine influences and hi-tech techniques and one has a unique blend which will surely be a defining factor in distinguishing the 21st Century Artist.

The term Computer Evolved Art (combining art from scanned images with art created with a computer graphic program to form a new and unique work of art) is a result of my love of painting, photography and computers.

Computer Evolved Art and Computer Evolved Photography are a result of using paintings and photographs as a foundation to create new and unique images. Printed with archival inks on canvas or watercolor paper the finished prints are up to 60" inches in size.

When developing my CEMA I strive to allow my subconscious to determine my directions. Using the computer for what it is, a tool which can change its surface, texture, width, transparency and dimension, I always search for the unused shapes, textures, colors which are embedded in our subconscious. I believe that through art they can be brought to the surface resulting in a more intense, more radiant reality than we commonly share.
