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.
