Her art hangs in Baltimore's City Hall, The Fort McHenry National Shrine, the U.S. State Department, and the Star Pass Resort in Arizona. Carol Lee's exhibits include the Gilcrease and Albuquerque Museums' "Miniature" Shows, Tucson Museum's "Women Artists of the West Show," the C.M.

She has won many awards including Best Sporting Art at the International Museum of the Horse, the Cheyenne Frontier Days Show, the Salmagundi Club in New York, Fredrix Spirit of America Awards, and several International Miniature Shows.

Carol is a member of the prestigious American Women Artists, the Miniature Painters, Sculptors and Gravers Society, American Academy of Women Artists, Oil Painters of America, and the Mid-Atlantic Plein Air Painters Association. She is published in Fresh Flowers: The Best of Flower Painting and Art of the American West. She was a "Preview Artist" in the Art of the West Magazine.

She is a graduate of Towson State University, holds a Masters of Fine Arts from the Maryland Institute College of Art, and is a graduate of the Schuler School of Fine Art, where she still teaches part-time. It is important to note that her classical training allows her to prepare her surfaces with lead and glue, grind her own pigments, and paint with black oil and Flemish or Maroger medium, which she prepares.

Carol Lee paints a wide range of subject matter, including landscape, still life, equine, portraiture, and Western themes. She is recognized in the West for her Native American subjects, while the rolling hunt and reservoir country of her home in Phoenix, Maryland, provides lovely landscape locations. In addition to her full-time art career, she teaches and conducts workshops.
