Read MoreLee Herath is a practicing photographic artist living in the Yarra Valley in Victoria, Australia. After qualifying as a lawyer, Lee studied photography at Photography Studies College, South, Victoria, Australia. Lee has won awards nationally and internationally and has recently been selected as a finalist in the Contemporary Art Awards, Queensland, Australia to hold a solo exhibition in April 2019.“As a practicing artist, I like to experiment with nature to create vibrant, abstract photographic pieces that focus on emotion rather than form. Inspired by nature, I use my camera to create painterly works in dramatic fields of colour.My artistic process is experimental, filled with discovery and surprise, although the outcome is entirely intentional. The colour palette that emerges in my work is expressive and aims to engage the viewer by providing a space for contemplation and escape from our day to day lives.”Upcoming Exhibitions2019 - Selected for Solo Exhibition, Contemporary Art Awards, Queensland Australia
