Lee Entrekin is a lifelong student of art. He began drawing as a child, and continued his interest through college, where he studied art at Georgia State University. After a stint in the Navy, however, the reality of finding a job hit home, and Lee began a career in management and information systems that spanned about 35 years.
When he retired from the Centers for Disease Control in 2004, Lee rekindled his interest in art, and began studying with local artists. He also studied the botany of the Appalachians with naturalists in the area. He is inspired by the beauty of our natural environment, particularly as it is reflected in the microcosm of leaves and flowers.
Lee is also a flutemaker, a long-time hobby that he have turned into a cottage industry in retirement. He is a member of the Southern Highland Crafts Guild, and often demonstrates flute making at the shops and occasionally performs at local venues.
