Yoonmi Lee is a Korean-American visual artist whose practice bridges the tactile precision of fashion with the contemplative language of still life painting. After a 25-year career in the fashion industry, Yoonmi Lee transitioned toward fine art, bringing a heightened sensitivity to texture, form, and materiality into her visual work.

A graduate of Parsons School of Design (BFA), she is currently pursuing an MFA at SUNY New Paltz. Her paintings often juxtapose everyday objects arranged with deliberate care, evoking themes of ritual, transience, and the unseen narratives embedded in domestic life. With a restrained palette and luminous realism, her compositions are quietly introspective, informed by both her cultural heritage and years immersed in design.

Based in upstate New York, she continues to explore how stillness, memory, and material converge in contemporary still life painting.
