1954年7月7日出生于韓國(guó)。畢業(yè)于韓國(guó)南北大學(xué)?，F(xiàn)定居于美國(guó)。
由于父親是一位自行車制造商，他接受的教育主要是權(quán)利和財(cái)富。然而，讓他的父親很失望的是，李Ｈ．坤將大部分的時(shí)間花在了童年就開始著迷的藝術(shù)方面而并非家族生意。
為了挫敗李H．坤的藝術(shù)家夢(mèng)想，他的家庭開始逼迫他改變興趣，十多歲的他為了逃離這種特權(quán)生活的壓力，選擇了離家出走，幸運(yùn)的是，他得到了當(dāng)?shù)匾晃凰囆g(shù)教授的支持，并且指導(dǎo)他開始了平面設(shè)計(jì)的學(xué)習(xí)。在李Ｈ．坤完成平面設(shè)計(jì)學(xué)習(xí)之前，他就開始輔導(dǎo)那些同他一樣正準(zhǔn)備著南北大學(xué)平面設(shè)計(jì)師考試的學(xué)生。
在1980年獲得學(xué)位后，李H．坤因一次偶然的機(jī)遇移民到了美國(guó)。一年后，他的妻子和兩個(gè)孩子也移民到了美國(guó)。抵達(dá)后到美國(guó)，李H．坤迅速地在南卡羅來納州的格林維爾定居，在當(dāng)?shù)氐囊粋€(gè)小畫廊教授私人藝術(shù)課程。之后，李H．坤成功地開辦了屬于自己的名為藝術(shù)和結(jié)構(gòu)的畫廊用以展出和售賣自己的作品以及客戶的定制設(shè)計(jì)。
李H．坤的大多數(shù)作品的主題靈感都是來自于他對(duì)旅行和自然的興趣，以及在他印象中不斷變化的景觀和環(huán)境。在每次旅行中，李H．坤都會(huì)用照片將時(shí)間和地點(diǎn)記錄下來，使它們能夠被重新地審視，并最終制作成畫，反映他對(duì)某個(gè)地方或某個(gè)時(shí)刻的印象和回憶。
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.
