Agatha Lee "Agy" is a textile artist specialising in free motion embroidery. Although she learnt to sew from her mother, it was not until 2012 that she rediscovered her passion for it and started creating textile collages and 3D textures that are not only vibrant and dynamic but captivate the viewer. Her previous career in environmental policy has enabled her to bridge the gap between sustainability and art, and has encouraged her to create works to reconnect people with not only the environment, but their inner tortoise.
Agy was an invited artist for The Big Draw 2015, Playeum, art residency L’Observatoire 2017, and Singapore Design Week 2018. She has also exhibited at The Substation, SG Eco Film Festival, The Festival of Quilts (UK) and The Knitting & Stitching Show. As part of her practice, she holds regular workshops. She is a member of the Society for Embroidery Work and Fertile Art Refinery SG.
