Somang Lee

I am an illustrator and performance artist based in London

I have a keen interest and love for nature and enjoy explorations into the natural world through observational drawing.

I started a plant diary in 2016 which has become my personal inquiry into and the beginning of my relationship with nature through art. This involves collecting and studying plants I find on walks, identifying them and putting them to paper with pencil, paper cutouts and watercolour.

My work has been employed by a varied client list including: Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew, Pavilion Books, Warner Music, The Serpentine Gallery, Shindagha Museum Dubai, Heckfield Place, Breathe Magazine and The Times

I studied illustration at Central Saint Martins School of Art and Design where I graduated with distinction and absolved a Masters degree at the Royal College of Art in 2011.
