Early life and education

Born in the Erlun Township of Yunlin County, Taiwan in 1966, Lee graduated from the Traditional Chinese Painting Division of the Department of Fine Arts at the National Taiwan Academy of Arts (now the Department of Painting and Calligraphy Arts at the National Taiwan University of Arts) in 1989. He then studied Western painting in the United States.[2] He obtained his Master of Fine Arts degree from Fontbonne University in 1995 and returned to Taiwan.

Life and work

After he returned to Taiwan, he taught at the Lunghwa University of Science and Technology and served as Department Chair of the Applied Arts Department at the National Defense University. He started teaching as a professor at the Department of Painting and Calligraphy Arts of National Taiwan University of Art in 2012, where he also served as director of the university's art museum.
