James Edward (Jimmy) Lee, born in Panama City, Florida, has drawn whatever was of interest to him from his earliest days -- steam trains, still life, birds, and nauticals. He has worked in pencil, pastels, oils, and watercolors. Jimmy was granted an Honorable Mention by Parents Magazine in 1950 by several judges that included Norman Rockwell. While in junior high and as a young adult, Jimmy studied with Florida artist and college professor, Louise Lingo Lewis. His college education was in the School of Engineering Technology and his 48 year business career was spent designing commercial kitchens. Always wanting to be exact, Jimmy is detail oriented as evident in his finished work.
