When he wasn\u2019t working in his studio, he frequently travelled to China or Mexico to cast his figures in bronze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He was a highly prolific and energetic artist, who lived with a disability caused by polio in his youth. His disability, however, never stood in the way of his highly charged production. When constructing a two-meter-high clay model, for example, he worked without hesitation, without breaks, and often without assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lee received his BFA at Pepperdine University and his MFA at Johnson State College. He also attended the Otis Art Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div
