Julie Lee (she/her) is a Korean-American artist from Alabama, working primarily in photography and collage. As of 2022, she holds a BFA (Bachelor of Fine Arts) from Carnegie Mellon University and is currently based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Her lens-based works (based off of the family albums) explore themes of ancestry and the photograph as existential affirmation - specifically in the matrilineal lineage that comes with her and the women around her. These works have circulated nationally and internationally, encouraging new ways of seeing and representing ideas in contemporary image culture, of being seen, and of speculating historical, psychological reconstructions.

Her work has been exhibited in Columbia University’s PostCrypt Gallery, the Curated Fridge, the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, the Colorado Photographic Arts Center, and Filter Space. Her work has also been featured in publications such as the Journal of Art Criticism, Yale University’s Asterisk* Journal of Art and Art History, Hyperallergic, and Fraction Magazine. She is grateful to have been a resident of Ox-Bow, a 2022 runner-up in Princeton University's Nassau Literary Review Undergraduate Art & Writing Contest, and a recipient of The Cosmos Care Fund Micro-Grant.
