Lee-Albert Hill grew up in West Texas and attended Texas Tech University where he graduated from the School of Architecture. After living and working in the Connecticut/New York area for many years, he came back to Texas to make his current home in Fort Worth. In addition to his active work as a painter, Hill is also a practicing architect and member of the American Institute of Architects. His paintings have recently been featured in the pages of INDULGE MAGAZINE and shown in several local and regional galleries including the K-Space Contemporary in Corpus Christi, TX and the LHUCA in Lubbock, TX. In addition, his work has also been featured twice at the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art near San Francisco and shown in curated group exhibitions in New Orleans, Houston, Berlin, Germany and Moscow, Russia.

Through his paintings Lee-Albert Hill has been exploring the process of abstracting man's relationship with nature after being exposed to the work of contemporary Asian artists during a trip to study art and architecture in Japan. Many Asian artists, particularly those in Japan, are attuned to expressing a clear and close relationship to the natural world. Through their art they believe nature is a force that should be felt rather than rationalized. Hill has been exploring this force himself through his paintings which start out by being placed outdoors among the extremes of weather in his native state of Texas. This exploration continues in Hill's "Bluestem Series". Bluestem is a native prairie grass and can be found all across the North Texas region where Hill's home and studio are located. Work in the series is produced in several steps. Bluestem is carefully selected for its potential to create linear impressions in acrylic paint. Grass and paint are then spread out on canvas while exposed to the weather. After weathering, the work is then brought into his studio where forms and patterns are discovered, taped off and painted over. Through a process of adding and subtracting, an under-and-over painting is created. The result is a unique visual language of reductive, hardedge contrasting patterns.
