Karen Lee
Karen Lee majored in illustration at the Columbus College of Art and Design in Columbus,
Ohio. It was here that she met her husband, fellow illustrator Tim Lee. She began her
career as a storyboard artist and editorial illustrator but it wasn't until she had children of
her own that she discovered her true artistic passion. As she brought home stacks of books
from the library to read to her son and daughter she began to discover the magic in
children's illustration.
Karen brings a sense of delight into every painting she does. Each illustration begins
with a thoughtful design and drawing. The paintings are finished with watercolor on
illustration board.
Karen is the illustrator of One Odd Day and My Even Day, (Sylvan Dell Publishing), awarded Learning Magazine's Teacher's Choice Award for 2008, and My Half Day (Sylvan Dell Publishing). Her author/illustrated book ABC Safari (Sylvan Dell Publishing) was awarded the Annual Moonbeam Awards Bronze Medal for ABC/counting books for 2008. She is also the recipient of the 2004 SCBWI Magazine Merit Award for Illustration and runner-up for the 2005 Don Freeman Memorial Grant.
Karen and her husband are currently raising their family outside of Raleigh, North Carolina.
