Lee Qianqian Cui (she/her)

Visual Artist | Ph.D. in Psychology

This is Lee.

In a nutshell I’m just a craftswoman who enjoys creating colorful stuff inspired by mother nature and human minds.

I’m currently finishing up an interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Psychological and Brain Sciences at UC Santa Barbara, where I explore the intersection between human minds, visual arts and film making. My background has provided me with a unique understanding of attention, perception, and emotions—insights that I incorporate into my visual art to engage audiences and craft innovative visual narratives.

Off duty, I enjoy hunkering down with my cats, going on road trips to state & national parks, and chilling with mother nature.
