Meet Kate Lee on Tour!

Get to Know the Artist Behind the Art

From the time she was in kindergarten, Kate Lee couldn’t help but create artwork. (She even remembers getting in trouble in school for drawing too much!) In high school, she began to play around with watercolor paints, which laid the foundation for her now-signature style of gentle colors and minimalistic outlines. Kate’s paintings depict faith-filled interactions with a touch of anonymity that allows viewers to see themselves within relatable, tender moments.

Kate and her husband, Mike, live in Utah with their two boys and two dogs. She continues to draw inspiration from her experiences and relationships, now sharing them as a new author and beloved artist on tour!

New From Kate Lee:

Connecting with Christ

"This book is my testimony of and love for the Savior! The backstories of each painting and the experiences I share with each one have helped me to know Christ better. ...I hope as you read this book and reflect on your own experiences, you can feel closer to Christ. You are so crazy loved by Him." - Kate Lee

Love’s Pure Light Lantern

Inspired by Kate Lee's iconic Nativity painting, this Love’s Pure Light lantern features a sculpture of the Holy Family, enveloped in soft light and swirling snowflakes. Kate took additional care to highlight Joseph's role in the Savior’s life, depicting him reverently sharing with Mary the awe and wonder of that sacred night.
