Hand cutting century-old paper, Bovey Lee creates contemporary narratives in her latest work that explores issues of migration, lineage, and belonging as US immigration policies shifted and tensions at the border escalated. In this talk, she speaks about how concepts, materials, and her unique creative process unite to make socio-political commentaries.

She has a BA in Fine Arts from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, an MFA in painting from UC Berkeley, and an MFA in Digital Arts from Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY. National and international exhibitions include Fuller Craft Museum, MA; Nevada Museum of Art; Museum of Craft & Design, CA; Brooklyn Museum of Art; Museum of Fine Arts, Beijing, China; Fukuoka Museum of Art, Japan; and Hong Kong Museum of Art. Her work is in the collections of the Ashmolean Museum of Art & Archaeology, Oxford University, UK; Hong Kong Museum of Art; USC Pacific Asia Museum, Pasadena; Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, Stanford Health Care, CA; among others. She currently lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.
