Doris Lee Doris Lee achieved success as a painter, illustrator, and lithographer. Born in Aledo, Illinois, she studied art at the Rockford College, Illinois, the Kansas Art Institute, and the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco. Her early lithographs of American life in the rural Midwest had a realistic but whimsical approach, linking her closely to the American primitive artists. This can be seen in such images as, "Helicopter," "Thanksgiving," "Country Wedding," and "Afternoon Train," She was a member of the Woodstock Art Colony and a teacher at the Colorado Springs Fine Art Center.
