She prepares her surfaces with lead and glue, grinds her own pigments, and paints with Maroger medium. Carol Lee paints a wide range of subject matter including landscape, figurative, equine, still life, and Western themes. She is recognized in the West for her Native American subjects, while the rolling hunt and reservoir country of her home in Phoenix, Maryland, provides lovely landscape locations.
