Claire Lee, a visual artist from Hong Kong residing in both Hong Kong and London, engages with research-based art projects. She draws from the contrasts and beauty of vulnerability within human conditions, showcasing themes like fragility and strength in raw tofu, dimensions of pain and suffering, symbolic bison representations, and energising waste materials. Her diverse creations span objects, paintings, drawings, poetry, and photography, exhibited in solo and group shows globally. Lee's meditative and poetic approach infuses her work with deep meaning, exploring topics like politics, violence, and reconciliation. Currently, she focuses on a new series of drawings and costumes based on research on conflict and war.

Her artworks have been exhibited in solo, group exhibitions and art fairs in Asia and abroad including Art Central (Hong Kong), Amnesty International (Hong Kong), Royal Cambrian Academy of Art (United Kingdom) and Northern Arizona University Art Museum (United States) for its juried exhibition themed on politics, violence, and reconciliation.
