Jeff and Carol Lee have been using photography as a way of expression for most of their lives.
When they met they would spend hours (days) doing nothing but exploring and photographing all aspects of life.
Our name "Lee's Fine Art" was originally conceived based on our fine art prints. Over the years Carol Lee found that photographing people and capturing special memories for others was inevitably her calling.
In 2006 Lee's Fine Art began a transformation from art prints to a portrait studio. However, art prints are still a large part of who we are, and our love of photography.
In addition to our many portrait oriented services, you may purchase our art print work in the form of cards, framed or unframed prints.
In 2008 we moved into The Old Bag Factory at 1100 Chicago avenue in Goshen. We've found the location to be ideal for all aspects of our photography and absolutely love our new neighborhood as well as our neighbors. We encourage anyone and everyone to visit the Old Bag Factory and browse all of the wonderful shops available here:
Carriage Barn Antiques - A lovely shop that is set up in a unique way (a must see) and offering some of the area's finest antiques. Mary Ann specializes in 18th and 19th century furniture.
Quilt Designs - This is not your average quilt store! Think of it as a textile art gallery. Even if you don't enjoy quilts and/or have never sewn a stitch in your life you will appreciate the artistry you'll find in this shop. You're certain to be amazed at the works of art created by Shirley and her daughter in law Kris while Dave, Shirley's enthusiastic husband, showcases their work.
John Mishler - Kinetic Sculpture - John does amazing things with metals. If you're lucky enough to catch him, you may be able to watch as he creates his next piece of art. If not, you can still view his work here at the Old Bag Factory as well as in downtown Dowagiac, Elkhart and Palm Springs among other cities.
Sycamore Fine Art Gallery - A fantastic collection of art by world renowned artists as well as local artists. Diane is a major contributor to the artistic community and often has special events and exhibits in her gallery.
Swartzendruber Galleries - A lovely collection of fine furniture and amazing wooden gift items from ride-on airplanes to quilt boxes.
Cressie's Vintage Boutique - Yes! Vintage clothing! What woman could resist?
Tapers Candles - Offering a unique collection of candles and home accessories of every variety.
Dick Lehman Pottery - Shop for utilitarian wear as well a selection of functional and artistic pieces. You can actually watch as these masterpieces are created as well!
Getting hungry?!?
The Trolley Cafe - Open for breakfast, lunch and on special occasions, dinner. Not only do they have great food at reasonable prices, but all of their baked goods are made right here! Homemade pies, cookies, breads and other goodies.
There are still more shops to be seen here, and I wish I could tell you a bit about each and every one of them right here, but alas I shall run out of room.
