Lee Williams

Lee is a native Buffalonian, earning his BFA in Communication Design from SUNY at Buffalo, with concentrations in typography and photography. After graduating in 1983, he began a career in the printing industry working as a pressman.

A desire for expression led him to pick up the camera again, starting Pugbully Studio in 2015. He quickly gained a following in his hometown of Lockport NY with images from the Flight of Five locks as it undergoes a historic restoration. Lee found a shared interest with others in subjects like aviation, architecture and nature. Recent clients include Bank on Buffalo and Catholic Health Fund. He is currently a member at several area galleries including Hallwalls, Lockport’s Kenan Gallery and Carnegie Art Center in North Tonawanda. As an exhibiting member of the Buffalo Society of Artists, his work has shown in esteemed spaces including the Castellani Art Museum. His solo show ‘Lit Buffalo’ at Flight Gallery (fall 2023)in Larkenville was well received. Large prints of the canal hang in the courtroom in the City of Lockport.
