Debra M. Lee

Debra has been an active member of the fiber arts/knitting community in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area for more than 15 years. In 2002 she turned her passion for knitting into her vocation after 25 years as a business systems designer and program manager.

Debra is a Craft Yarn Council of America-certified knitting teacher and teaches beginner and advanced knitting technique and design classes at local yarn shops - Aylin's Woolgatherer and Uniquities - and The Art League School in Virginia, at Knitters Connection in Columbus, Ohio and at private venues.

As a studio artist, Debra explores ways to merge knitting, art and design into her contemporary art and one-of-a-kind wearables. She exhibits her work regularly at the Potomac Fiber Arts Gallery, Studio 18, at the Torpedo Factory Art Center in Alexandria, Virginia. In addition, her work can be found in the form of knitting patterns published in Knitter's, Knit 'n Style, A Gathering of Lace and The Best of Knitter's Jackets for Work and Play.

Debra holds a B.S. degree in business management from the University of Maryland, an M.B.A. from George Washington University and has completed further studies at The Art League School, The Knitting Guild of America and national conferences.
