The King’s Courtyard Artist Collective Gallery will be open Sunday, November 12th from 10 am to 5 pm, showing our support to our neighbor’s Rita Whitney of Prime Art Supply and local artist, Rosa Luz Catterall who are part of this year’s Makers’ Dozen Studio Tour. Our member artist, Jessica Lee, will be painting live in the gallery!

Jessica Lee is a graduate of York College of Pennsylvania where she received her BA in Fine Art with a minor in art history. She is a member of the King’s Courtyard Artist Collective and exhibits her work at their gallery at 124 East King Street, York. She has also been a featured artist at Small Star Art House, York Blue Moon and the York Art Association’s Sally Little Danyo Members’ Sales Gallery. Her abstract work has been exhibited at NASA Goddard in Greenbelt, MD, and at the Art Science Gallery in Austin, Texas.

Lee focuses on textures, lines, shapes and what she refers to as “surface depth.” A sentiment that has held much personal meaning for her is in the Niche quote, “There are no beautiful surfaces without a great and terrible depth.” Using this as a metaphor for her own personal struggles and triumphs, Lee typically flattens the picture plane and creates instead a depth to her surfaces through translucent layers.
