Amy Wing Fong Lee is a Bay Area artist whose oil paintings and cardboard constructions focus on the creation of a personal mythology involving hybrid animals and apocalyptic harbingers. Amy has also been known publish zines and print t-shirts under the name Cat Nip Dream. When she is not painting or arduously cutting leaves out of cardboard, she is probably walking back and forth trying to figure out where her keys are. Her middle name Wing Fong roughly means "fragrant praises."
