Hello and Welcome!
I’m Cecilia Hae-Jin Lee
artist • writer • chef • producer • professional troublemaker
a little bit about me
Among other things, I have created public art projects in Boyle Heights, been a food producer on competition TV shows, produced films in Burma, reviewed restaurants for the Los Angeles Times, created and tested recipes for Simply Recipes and written travel guides for Frommers.
You can call me a “Jill of all trades.”
Here are a few of my books.

Some of my artworks
My background is in conceptual art, painting, photography, sculpture and site-specific installation. Learning from some of the best artists, I come up with a thousand ideas before breakfast and throw most of them out after lunch. Somewhere in the middle, I decide which ideas are worth keeping and find the best media to create the work.
These are photos from my ongoing “Favorite Food” series. If you’d like to be photographed with your favorite food, please contact me.
