Cheyenne Lee (b. 2001) is an interdisciplinary artist based in Detroit. Her work explores how environments shape and transform us—how the spaces we inhabit and interact with influence our emotional and physical states. Drawing from her background in design, she composes mixed media works that play with balance, material, and form. Influenced by Art Deco and Mid-century Modern aesthetics, her practice reflects a sensitivity to color, materiality, and shape as she investigates the relationship between the body and its surroundings.
Expanding into three-dimensional work, Lee integrates wood, textiles, and acrylic, with a committed intention of using found and repurposed materials to create spaces that feel both familiar and exploratory. Through texture, form, and color, she invites deeper reflection on how space can hold, guide, and ground us. Her ongoing exploration of these ideas is often framed through the lens of girlhood and womanhood, using abstraction as a language for navigating memory, presence, and transformation.
