Jeni Lee - Artist Biography



From a childhood spent in the coastal Sonoma County countryside, to Idaho’s high mountain river valleys, to finding her home in the forests and the coastlines of the Northwest, Jeni's emotive, atmospheric work captures the ways in which we experience our surroundings. From mountains to forest to sea, her work evokes the luminescence of our natural world.



Jeni holds a Bachelor of Art in Painting and Printmaking from Portland State University and has attended artist residencies in the rich landscapes of Kauai, New Mexico, Oregon’s high desert, and the Vermont Studio Center. Her work is represented in residential and corporate collections including the University of Portland, the Oregon State Treasury, as well as hospitality and healthcare facilities nationwide, such as Kaiser Permanente and Legacy Health. From her Portland, Oregon studio, Jeni works with private clients, designers and gallerists. She exhibits her work at regional art galleries and art festivals throughout the year.
