Please join the Seabrook Island Artist Guild for a reception to meet Lee
and view her beautiful art on Tuesday, May 7, from 4:30 pm-6:00 pm at
The Lake House.
Lee Fritz has been painting and drawing since she was very young, but never settled down to concentrate on her art until her retirement in 2019. As the Administrator of her husband’s CPA firm in Fairfax, VA for 25 years, Lee spent most of her time working, taking care of her three children, her dogs, house and garden. Retirement offered Lee time to concentrate on her hobbies. She started painting and became involved in many clubs and activities on Seabrook.
An avid cyclist, she belongs to the Seabrook Seabikers, a group of women who share a love of being on a bike and spending time together. She recently completed her first century ride, biking 100 miles in eight hours. You can usually see the Seabikers on Tuesday and Thursday mornings meeting at the entrance of the Equestrian Center before their 30 – 40 mile ride.
Lee also enjoys walking her two Westies on the beach, incorporating texture and color in her courtyard garden, golfing and bird watching. She considers herself a naturalist and gets excited when she sees a snake or unusual insect.
Acrylics has been Lee’s predominate medium, but she has recently transitioned to oil painting and is enjoying learning to work with this medium. Her subjects are usually pets; she loves to capture the expression of a beloved pet and will ask for many photographs of a pet before selecting the one that speaks to her. She also enjoys working on portraits of people. Her favorite style however is whimsical. She has painted several murals in children’s rooms and is currently working on illustrating a children’s book.
