Artist Anthony Lee, in his studio, is “tickled” to have his work displayed at the newly reopened Cossitt Library. Lee wanted to be an artist from the time he was 4 years old. By the time he showed up in the Central High classroom of beloved art teacher Bill Hicks, he was already a standout. (Mark Weber/The Daily Memphian)
