Sarah-Lee (she/her) is a self-taught artist and Asian settler adoptee raised in the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi. Inspired by natural environments, many of her paintings resemble abstract landscapes.

Sarah-Lee approaches painting as an ongoing exploration of manipulating color and gestural shapes. Each painting is informed by the previous one as she hopes to be surprised by what emerges. Her creative process relies on challenging familiarity to pursue the new and unfamiliar. Painting is most exciting when it feels out of her control.

In 2022, she began making artist books. She strives to create the artist books she wants to see. Her artist books feature original abstract art on paper - no words - assembled by hand with simple binding.

Each book is improvised, driven by her curiosity and desire for novelty. She enjoys the ambiguity of abstraction combined with the linear form of a book to suggest a narrative.
