The world always seems brighter when you’ve just made something that wasn’t there before
— Neil Gaiman
 
 

From a young age, Lee constantly dabbled in the arts.  At sixteen, upon entering the Calgary Stampede’s Western Showcase and placing first in the Junior Division, a focus on art was solidified.  Her father, a custom saddle maker and skilled leather worker of forty years, inspired this creative drive.  A self-taught artist, Lee developed a talent in acrylic painting and her twenties were spent exhibiting contemporary western paintings in and around her home town; Billings, Montana. Now in her 30’s she is building an ever growing watercolor and ink body of work from her husband's 4th generation family ranch in Western South Dakota.   Lee Walker’s art has been represented by several galleries throughout Montana, including a painted electrical signal box in downtown Billings and having work accepted for consecutive years into the Yellowstone Art Museums annual art auction, and having work chosen for the 2026 Western Horseman Cowboy Calender. Private commissions afford Lee unique opportunities, and although specializing in genres of western culture and wildlife, Lee is fond of the challenge and excitement in exploring new subject matter.
