Hyun Jou Lee was born on October 6th 1965, in Korea. At age seven, she left her childhood home to attend school in Seoul. She went  on to study at the Women’s University in Seoul, where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts. Her thirst for discovery led her to Montreal in 1994, where she studied at the Saidye Bronfman Center. She started exhibiting locally, and has since been showing work in galleries in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom. 

Jou Lee has a symbiotic relationship with her artwork. She looks for guidance from the 
canvas, often surprised by the finished result. She begins by applying a thick gesso, to 
create relief and give dimension to the piece. Jou Lee experiments with many mediums, 
using principally oil and encaustic. Her colour palette is extremely broad; ranging from 
the very organic to the brightest colours of spring: the difference depends on the story 
the artist is trying to tell.
