Grace Lee-Art Student


Grace Lee is an aspiring photographer at TCU. She has spent the past four years pursuing a studio art degree with a minor in business. In March, her work was professionally displayed in an art gallery in Fort Worth. Her piece displayed tension--a common theme for all pieces in the gallery--and featured a wilting flower and a cactus which were battling for the spotlight in the picture. Lee aspires to become a professional photographer and to own her own studio.

When Lee is not in the studio painting and taking photographs, she is often found playing polo. She served as captain to the girl's polo team for the 2008-2009 season. She lead the team to many victories and dedicated much of her time to caring for the 17 horses at the Brushy Creek Stables where TCU practices and keeps their horses.

Lee was born and raised in the middle of one the busiest cities in the U.S.--Houston, Texas. In junior high she picked up the hobby of playing polo at stables near her home. She was also a cheerleader and a lacrosse player in high school. In 2005, Lee graduated from the Kincaid School in Houston. The next semester she enrolled as a freshman at TCU, following in her father's footsteps.

Lee keeps herself busy and maintains a balance between school, friends and hobbies. She enjoys going to museums, eating sushi, following the Astros and going out with her friends. She is spending the summer interning at The Cochran Art Gallery in Washington D.C.

After she returns, she has one more semester of classes and then will graduate in December 2009. She plans to stay in Fort Worth for a few months after graduation--taking a break from school and looking for jobs. She has loved her time in Fort Worth and will be sad to see college come to an end.
