Contemporary artist Lee Puffer's sculpture, mixed media and installation works are playful, and absurd with an edge of dark humor.

Born in Long Beach, CA, Lee Puffer grew up in Coastal Massachusetts and Maine, Mexico, Venezuela, and the shores of Lake Erie in Western New York. She graduated with Honors from the Massachusetts College of Art with a BFA from the Studio for Interrelated Media. She holds an MFA in Ceramics from SDSU. Her work ranges from life-sized figurative and kinetic sculpture in ceramic and mixed media, to installation, textile and painting. Puffer has exhibited at The Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, The American Museum of Ceramic Art, and The Women’s Museum of California, among others. She is currently an adjunct faculty member at Palomar College, San Diego City College and Grossmont College.
