Artist: Lee Sipe | Location: Columbia, SC
Columbia, SC
As a young girl, I always wanted to create. Art opportunities in my home country were limited at that time. Arriving in the U.S. in 1971, I took art classes at every chance, starting with weaving pine needles into baskets. I love working with all-natural materials. I later became enamoured with pottery and a few years after that began creating vessels from copper wire, twining the wire and forging the tips. Copper wire vessels are my focus now. I became a professional artist in 1983. Creating art gives me great pleasure and energizes me to strive for excellence. Each unique piece gives me ideas for new creations. I live in Columbia, S.C. I am married with four children and nine grandchildren.
