LEE BYFORD

Studio 106, First Floor

Watch something closely and you will see it’s connectedness to other things has a depth and a delicacy so natural and precious that it is at once both profound and simple. My children taught me to look again, and now I am caught in the wonder of the natural life.  I paint with oil on linen or wood board.  I am self taught.
