Lee Cripps is a professional artist and arts administrator living and working in Halifax, NS. After a decade long career in television Lee made a conscious return to her Fine Arts roots upon the birth of her daughter in 2007. Becoming a mother solidified for her the importance of living life with intention and truth. She currently continues to use her art practice as an ongoing investigation of spirituality, sexuality and feminism and feminine power.
The process of photographing has been an outlet for documenting her life and growth as an artist and individual within a community – and the beauty of that community. Her work is landscape, portraiture, documentary and expression. She is motivated by evocative inspirations brought to surface purely by daily observations and interest in Art as expression in the purest form.
As a painter she explores large scale expressionism. Her portraits and figures represent her political views of the female position within family, community and nation. Her motivation is not only the lack of place and people she often felt as an adolescent, but also the energy and beauty she observes in all bodies, faces and people.
The subject becomes more than just an object in art. The subject becomes the relationship I have with it, the energy which is exchanged between us. My perception of the subject and all it means to me. That is what I express.
