Hello!
I’m Poppy-Lee.
I’m a multi-disciplinary artist and writer based in Leeds, UK. You may know me from Leeds Poetry Festival, from one of my popular Watercolour Mushroom workshops, or from the projects I’ve worked on with in Leeds.
My creative practice has developed a lot in recent years, largely prompted by my work at Beam Works, Left Bank, and Castleton Mill, after being given the freedom to work on creative projects, events and exhibitions. I have designed the interiors for canalboats for The Boat Co. North, curated events for short- and long-term projects in the city, and, most importantly, after a year of planning, opened the Art Shop & Printing Studio for Beam Works in 2022.
For my illustration work I have a particular focus on the environment, creating botanical and mycological studies in various mediums. I teach a series of classes each year in drawing, watercolour painting, and theme-focused art that encourages people to engage more with their own local environments and learn to be more eco-conscious.
I am currently building a portfolio of oil works, largely portrait-focused, and developing my practice as a figurative painter.
