Lee’s story

The story

Where art meets science.

Lee’s fascination with space began as a boy watching the Apollo missions. That curiosity continues in paintings about the Moon’s surface, the exploration of Mars, and the light that reveals what stars are made of.

Since 2014, he has been developing his Cosmos series of science-based artwork. Astronomy, planetary science and astrophysics become subjects to explore through color, texture and materials.

His mixed-media work incorporates materials from nature, including sand, seashells and meteorite fragments. Through Visions of the Cosmos, exhibitions, artist talks and educational outreach, Lee invites audiences of different ages into the science behind the work.

Through E. Lee Wilson, Jr. Enterprises, LLC, he brings together fine art, science communication, education and interactive experience.

Selected exhibitions

The vision

My mission

Make science observable, explorable, and personally meaningful.

My work begins with the visual experience. Color, texture, material, scale, pattern, and composition create a reason to pause and notice. From there, the artwork opens questions that can be explored through reliable evidence.

I am especially drawn to astronomy, planetary science, astrophysics, space history, and the human story of exploration. My aim is not to turn art into a textbook, but to give curiosity a place to begin.

A painting becomes a starting point for looking closely, asking questions, and learning more. I invite you to explore the paintings and the science behind them. Follow whatever sparks your curiosity.

Ad Astra, Una. To the stars, together.
