1954年7月7日出生于韩国。毕业于韩国南北大学。现定居于美国。
 

    由于父亲是一位自行车制造商，他接受的教育主要是权利和财富。然而，让他的父亲很失望的是，李Ｈ．坤将大部分的时间花在了童年就开始着迷的艺术方面而并非家族生意。
 

    为了挫败李H．坤的艺术家梦想，他的家庭开始逼迫他改变兴趣，十多岁的他为了逃离这种特权生活的压力，选择了离家出走，幸运的是，他得到了当地一位艺术教授的支持，并且指导他开始了平面设计的学习。在李Ｈ．坤完成平面设计学习之前，他就开始辅导那些同他一样正准备着南北大学平面设计师考试的学生。
 

    在1980年获得学位后，李H．坤因一次偶然的机遇移民到了美国。一年后，他的妻子和两个孩子也移民到了美国。抵达后到美国，李H．坤迅速地在南卡罗来纳州的格林维尔定居，在当地的一个小画廊教授私人艺术课程。之后，李H．坤成功地开办了属于自己的名为艺术和结构的画廊用以展出和售卖自己的作品以及客户的定制设计。
 

    李H．坤的大多数作品的主题灵感都是来自于他对旅行和自然的兴趣，以及在他印象中不断变化的景观和环境。在每次旅行中，李H．坤都会用照片将时间和地点记录下来，使它们能够被重新地审视，并最终制作成画，反映他对某个地方或某个时刻的印象和回忆。

    Kun H. Lee was born in Seoul. Korea on July 7, 1954.
 

    As the son of a bicycle manufacturer, Lee's up bringing was one of wealth and privilege. However, much to his father's dismay. Lee spent muck of his childhood fascinated with the Arts rather than the family business. In an attempt to thwart Lee's dreams of becoming an artist, his family began to pressure him to choose other interests. By his teens, Lee fled the oppression of his privileged life to study graphic design under the sympathetic guidance of a local art professor. Before Lee had finished his training, he began tutoring other students who, like himself, were in the midst of preparing for Koreas private university exams for graphic designers.
 

    Before finishing his degree in 1980, Lee stumbled upon an opportunity to immigrate to the United States. Within a year Lee moved his wife and two small children to the States. Upon arriving to the US, Lee quickly settled his family just outside of Greenville, South Carolina where he taught private art lessons at a small local gallery. Eventually Lee opened a gallery of his own called Art and Frame, a space where he exhibited and sold his own paintings and custom frame designs.
 

    The subject in much of lee's work is inspired by his interest in travel and nature as well as the shifts in his own impression over changing landscapes and environments. On any trip, Lee is constantly photographing to archive places and moments so that they can be revisited and eventually made into paintings that reflect his impressions and memories of that place or that moment.
