Guest Speaker: Lee Monts

Lee Monts creates contemporary acrylic paintings on canvas, paper and board. A native of Chapin, South Carolina, his formal education is in geology. He has been a resident of Columbia, South Carolina, since 1987 and is employed full time by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control. Lee began painting in 2002 who considers his talent to be a gift from God and hopes that his art brings glory to the Lord. His award-winning work has been juried and featured in many exhibits, including “Testimony,” the artist’s premier solo show July 23 – August 21, 2009, at the Gallery at DuPre in Columbia, SC, followed by a highly-acclaimed solo exhibit at City Art Gallery in 2011. A feature article by nationally known writer Cynthia Boiter titled “Artist come lately…” appeared in the January 2010 issue of Lake Murray Magazine and Northeast Columbia Magazine. Lee was selected as one of six artists for Street Gallery III, a rotating billboard project in 2010 sponsored by the Cultural Council of Richland and Lexington Counties and Lamar Advertising. Also, the 2011 SC Watermedia Annual Juried exhibit included one of Lee’s paintings.
