BIO

Andrew G. Lee, b. 1982

 Andrew G. Lee is a full-time professional wildlife and sporting artist, inspired by the beauty and culture of the southeastern United States. Andrew works in a wide range of fine art mediums and blurs the lines between artist and artisan as he incorporates his artwork on his handmade lifestyle goods and entertaining wares using fine woods and leathers, as well as his line of custom stationery paper goods.

Andrew Lee operates his one-man fine art business, Andrew Lee Design, from his home studio in his hometown of Auburn, Alabama. He is a proud father raising two young sons (and two sweet dogs) and is immensely grateful to be able to live out his God-given calling as an artist to reflect the beauty of creation in the work he undertakes.

Andrew is a graduate of Auburn University with a degree in industrial design and has worked in a wide range of industries and design capacities: product design, graphic design, education/online learning design, advertising, marketing, and the like. Those stops in his career path led him to live all over the southeast in Tennessee, South Carolina, Louisiana and back to the state of Alabama after college. 

Starting in 2014, Andrew worked full-time for Auburn University, primarily in digital media: web, graphic design, marketing and online education. Outside of his role at Auburn is where he was able to unplug and focus on what has come to define the Andrew Lee Design brand: the fine art, the handcrafted design in printmaking, woodworking and leather work. It was a creative back and forth--rapid-paced digital technology by day, then the tradition and pace of the handcrafted that endures generation after generation.

Starting in April of 2019, Andrew pursued Andrew Lee Design full-time, and since then he has been featured in numerous international and national publications and shown his work across the country. Andrew and his family typically display about 4-5 game fairs and sporting art events each year and his work can be viewed on display at Acre Restaurant, in Auburn, Alabama. While the lion's share of Andrew's time is focused on custom, commissioned artwork he is currently working on independent work, as well as with clients and collaborators to take his fine art and artisan goods to heights not previously possible. 

“Alabama-based artisan Andrew Lee is a jack-of-all-trades—his line of American-made homewares exemplifies his exquisite attention to detail regardless of medium.”
