Lee Boyer

artist bio
Lee Boyer paints scenery in studios in New York and Chicago for film, television, and events. At his studio in Urbana he produces paintings and prints inspired by local community and atmosphere. These works are presented for sale by Cinema Gallery.
 
Lee's recent painting credits include: The Hoax, A Dog Year, The Naked Brother’s Band, Lil’ Kim - “Lighters Up”, The Radio City Tour, the Jeep exhibit for the Detroit Auto Show, and Welcome to Tolono.
 
Lee's scene design credits include the Whitewater Opera Company, Great Western Music Festival, Krannert Center for the Performing Arts at the University of Illinois, and Parkland Community College.
 
As the Scenic Charge Artist for the University of Illinois Department of Theater in the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, Lee oversaw the painting and student crews for ten theater and opera productions each year for seven years.
 
While he enjoys professional painting, Lee receives much satisfaction from teaching theater and art students of all ages and collaborating with student paint crews. He has taught scene design, painting techniques, and graphic skills classes from elementary school to university levels at the Interlochen Center for the Arts, Parkland College, the Illinois High School Theatre Festival, The Educational Theatre Association/Thespians, Neoga Community School District, Northwestern State University, and the Arkansas State Thespians Festival.
 
Since 1993 Lee has created images using large format inkjet plotters for both the stage and retail environments. The United States Institute for Theatre Technology has funded Lee’s research into painting techniques for use on digitally printed scenery.
