All art is art history. Regardless of whether it is the artist’s intention, making art is a documentary act. The art itself is evidence of an experience for the artist and representative of moment human history. This is not such a radical concept. Some of the only things we know about ancient cultures are based on the artwork and handmade objects those ancient peoples left behind. Cave paintings, shards of pottery, carved stones, these are the history books of antiquity. There are billions more humans now, and we have many ways of storytelling. #arthistory #arthistorian #documentation #textileart #fabricpainting #dyenaflow @jacquardproducts #vintagetextiles #fiberart #watercolor #collage #assemblage #colorstudy #circles #artistlife #artonpaper #studioart

I believe that there are universal truths about the human condition that can only be addressed through art, both the making of art itself, and in the experience of engaging with artwork. Art performs a valuable function for both the artist and the observer, in connecting us in shared humanity. The more people making art, and the more diverse the artists and the output are, the richer life becomes for us all. #deepthoughts #artonpaper #textileart #fiberart #vintagetextiles #assemblage #collage #fabricpainting #dyenaflow @jacquardproducts #artistlife #studioart #contemporaryart #painting #colorstudy #pushpins #abstraction #abstractpainting

About Lee Puffer

Born in Long Beach, CA, Lee Puffer grew up in Coastal Massachusetts and Maine, Mexico, Venezuela, and the shores of Lake Erie in Western New York. Puffer began her career after graduating with Honors from the Massachusetts College of Art with a BFA from the Studio for Interrelated Media in 1992, working with Tony Oursler among others.
In 2004 Puffer enrolled in the Graduate program at San Diego State University, earning an MFA in 2007 with an emphasis of Ceramics. Her nomadic background manifests itself in sculpture made with a distinct sense of place. Her background as a multimedia artist lends her sculpture and sculptural installations immediacy and a contemporary sensibility.
Puffer creates life-sized figurative and kinetic sculpture and installation which offer cultural critique through personal and controversial imagery often appropriating and re-contextualizing images and ideas from popular culture.
She has exhibited at The Institute of Contemporary Art Boston, The American Museum of Ceramic Art, and The Women’s Museum of California among others. She is currently on faculty at Palomar College in San Marcos, California.
