She has also exhibited her work widely nationally and internationally.
Her interdisciplinary practice incorporates: installation/3D, printmaking, moving image, textiles, drawing, painting and arts ‘n’ crafts; so she is very versatile and has a broad range of skills to offer. Pui Lee has experience of working with participants of all ages (children, youths, adults, families, elderly) including individuals with learning difficulties and/or disabilities.

Promoting self-expression, her educational work is informed by her own practice, which uses scale, space and process as a means of making complex ideas more accessible to people. The workshops enable participants to respond and get creative whilst building their confidence and allowing them the opportunity to make that positive contribution to the world.
