Cherie Lee
Cherie is a multifaceted designer, who enjoys creating mixed media works. Experimenting with paints, inks, clay and photography in particular, her work serves as a diary to record things that happen to her or current issues that are important to her (i.e. dyslexia and the current pandemic). Cherie also uses art to explore her interests such as history.
Recently, Cherie has teamed up with her course-mate Anaab to work on a zine (@pigeonhole_illustrations) outside of their university work which illustrates the stories of people from around the world.
She has previously worked as a designer at a social enterprise, which focuses its work for the visually impaired, helping to design and print tactile art for exhibitions and textbooks.

Winged Terrors – An illustration expressing the fear of being surrounded by a swarm of pigeons in the middle of London, in response to the question of what aspect of London Lee dislikes.
