Brad Lee is a self-taught artist and have pursued and experimented in a number of mediums over my lifetime. Thirty years ago, after taking a class in stone sculpting, I discovered where my heart is.
Looking at a raw stone opens my imagination and can begin the process for me. Sometimes, a stone can sit on the floor in my studio for months, and I just keep looking at it. Other times I can see it right away. Sometimes, I see a vision and then choose the stone. The intersection of what I see and where the stone will lead me is the challenge. I have flaws, and so does the stone. Patience, perseverance, and flexibility are all part of this creative process. So is discipline.
