Muralist writes love letters in paint and ‘a lot of sugar’
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)
For artist Anthony Lee, the city is his muse, but his style is a compilation of his life.
