About The Artist


Artist Lee MimsLee Mims (d.2025), was both author and artist. She was raised on a farm in Raleigh, North Carolina. She received her Master’s Degree in Geology, University of North Carolina. Some might ask how she happened to become an artist after being trained as a scientist. Her childhood on a farm created in her a lifelong love of animals and the great outdoors and a desire to recreate the beauty that she saw around her. 

Like many self-taught artists, Lee painted her passion. Soon requests from friends for portraits of their children, horses and various pets led her to start a small studio. She expanded to painting wildlife and landscapes. She studied under author - illustrator, Bill Tilton. She studied plein-air painting with master artists, John Seerey-Lester, and Heiner Hurtling. Mims exhibited  in wildlife and art shows across the USA. Her art is popular among doctors, judges, educators, businessmen and women...even a US Senator.
