Emily O. "Lee" Garrison 

Though "Lee"  lived variously in Boston, New York and throughout the world, she spent her summers on the shores of Lake Champlain for more than 40 years, relaxing with friends, communing with fellow artists, painting, and sketching. Never without the tools of her trade, Lee also sketched and painted in places as far-flung as the gardens of Positano and the mountains of Chiusaforte in Italy to archeological excavations at Sardis in Turkey.

A prolific artist, Lee revisited certain subjects—flowers, grasses, water, her friends’ gardens, familiar landscapes—and painted them time and again, each canvas captured a new emotion, a change in season, or the play of light at a particular time of day. The contemplative and gestural style of Chinese art and its water-filled landscapes, flower paintings, and portraits was inspirational to Lee’s evolving artistic practice.
