oh hi, I'm Lee! I’m a multidisciplinary artist currently working with flowers and resin.
I went to Sheridan College for textile design and then to NSCAD University to finish out my Interdisciplinary Fine Arts BFA. Throughout my art career I have created two lines of handmade items- Be Proud Badges & Eau Claire Resin. I retired the Be Proud line in 2017 to switch my attention to my passion for flowers. I spent time living in the country establishing my self taught resin practice while learning how to grow and care for gardens.
I now live in Hamilton, Ontario with my cats Panda & Kathleen. I am a junior floral designer and I create all of the Eau Claire Resin work in my small home studio. I source my flowers from every place imaginable- gardens, forests, public parks, importers & ditches.
A great thing about this work continues to be the special commissions and collaborations I have made with clients using their sentimental keepsakes- dried flowers from weddings, funerals and special gardens. I’ve worked with a dog’s puppy teeth, many first locks of baby hair from first haircuts & even a chili pepper from a grandparents garden. There’s nothing to weird for me! Please contact me if you have something special like this and would like it cast in a little resin world.
Thanks for visiting, you’re great!
