LYRIC LEE
New Orleans, LA
2024-2025 Scholarship University of New Orleans
Lyric Lee is embarking on a journey toward a Studio Art Degree and minor in Business at the University of New Orleans. She looks forward to one day becoming a full-time artist and dreams of opening a school or art therapy practice in the future.
Lee is inspired by the things she loves, stating “My inspiration for my work is the people around me like my mom and the TV shows I watch, the books I read, and other artists I see.” While the artwork she creates is mainly for herself, she also desires to share her stories with everyone. “I want people who see my art to feel something,” she says. “What I want to do as an artist is to help people understand that art is everywhere; important and ingrained in every facet of our lives.” She is an artist of many mediums, including drawing, painting, digital art, and ceramics, with watercolor being her favorite.
Lyric Lee graduated from Morris Jeff Community High School in 2024. She first joined the YAYA Guild in 2018.
