Lyric Lee is pursuing a BA at the University of New Orleans. She is a multimedia artist working in painting, drawing, digital media, clay, and glass. Her favorite mediums are acrylic paint and watercolor. She is currently experimenting in stop-motion animation and comics. “I am an artist with autism, and I want to share stories of all kinds – stories I have seen, heard, read and made. I want people who see my art to feel something,” she says.
Lee made the dean’s list as a freshman and is now entering her sophomore year. She 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 her art practice is a personal tool, she has clear intentions for her audience, stating, “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.”
Lyric Lee graduated from Morris Jeff Community High School in 2024. She first joined the YAYA Guild in 2018.
