Lee Harrelson - Juried Artisan

I’m an artist and maker based in Birmingham, Alabama, driven by an endless fascination with materials, textures, and stories. My creative journey began with photography at 15, sparked by my older brother’s 35mm camera and home darkroom. That passion shaped a 35-year career as a commercial photographer—spanning fashion, food, and film production—until I closed my studio in 2020 to fully embrace my art on my terms.

I’m inspired by the forgotten and the weathered: objects with stories etched in their surfaces, abandoned yet still holding echoes of another life. My work breathes new energy into these materials, transforming them into modern narratives for today’s spaces. There is more of this artisan's work on this web site Click here to see it.
