Annie Lee began painting at the ripe old age of ten, winning her first
competition during that very year. Her accomplishments continued
throughout her teens culminating in an offer of a four-year scholarship at
Northwestern University. Though she declined that scholarship, Annie Lee
did return to the study of art at Mundelein college. This was after
producing two wonderful children, enduring the grief of being widowed twice and
having celebrated 40 birthdays. Ms. Lee also studied at the American
Academy of Art and earned her Masters of Education degree from Loyola
University.
Ms. Lee's art reflects he
remarkable ability to observe and draw life as she sees it, combining the
elements of humor, satire and realism to relay those observations to us.
As a result her work has been internationally acclaimed
and warmly received by not only the African-American culture, but also by art
lovers everywhere. Her works have been shown in hit TV shows such as
"ER" and "A Different World" and in Eddie Murphy's movies "Coming to
America" and "Boomerang."
In 1997, Annie Lee
signed Sandy USA, Inc. to be the exclusive licensee of Sass 'n class by Annie
Lee. This collection of resin figurines re-created from her canvas
paintings has been an outstanding success. Each figurine has captured the
essence of the artwork, equally full of humor, satire and life. Her
trademarks are the animated emotion of the personalities in the artwork and the
faces which are painted without features! This allows collectors to
Feel" the scene and interject their own personalities into the work. The
unique collection is of the highest quality workmanship, and with optimism, joy,
and tenderness, depicts life and events which are all part of the human
experience.
