After a birding tour to see the crane migration in Nebraska he picked up a small cane in an antique shop and transformed it to resemble one of the birds they had just seen. A pair of fellow birders and artists on the trip made a point to encourage Lee in this newfound hobby. Another artist that has actively encouraged him actually shares his studio space. That would be his wife, Nancy. “We all felt he had th...
