painter and decorative artist, was married to W.T. Lee, a founding member of the Maitland School of Arts New South Wales in 1854. At the 1861 Maitland Industrial Exhibition Mrs Lee won awards for 'watercolour, sepia, and pencil drawing, and flowers on velvet’. She is presumably the Mrs Lee who was living at Wollongong (on the south coast of New South Wales) when she entered a painting of St Malo in class H of the 1870 Sydney Intercolonial Exhibition, the section of the exhibition with a prize donated by Fairfax & Sons of the Sydney Morning Herald for an oil or watercolour painting by an Australian artist or one who had resided in the colony for at least two years. Mrs Lee also showed three sale works non-competitively, all oil paintings: View in Normandy (£10), Landscape—Waterfall (£4) and Landscape (£4).
