Suzy Lee made her debut as a picture-book artist with Alice in Wonderland, which was actually the final project for her master's program. She participated in the Bologna Children's Book Fair with a dummy of the book and pitched it to publishers, eventually signing a deal with the Italian publishing house Corraini Edizioni in 2002. La Revanche des Lapins, for which she was selected for the Illustrator's Exhibition at the Bologna Children's Book Fair in 2002, was published in Switzerland the following year and recognized as one of "The Most Beautiful Swiss Books." Lee gained attention in the picture-book world for the publication of the series of three books, Mirror (2003), Wave (2008), and Shadow (2010), complemented by The Border Trilogy, a manual to the series sharing the details of her creative process and approach to picture-books. Beginning with her solo exhibition highlighting "The Border Trilogy" at the Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna (MAMBo) in Italy, Suzy Lee has been engaging with readers and audiences across the world through exhibitions and book fairs held in countries including the United States, Swenden, Germany, Brazil, Spain, China, Singapore, Japan, India, Mexico, Italy, France and Korea. In 2013, she illustrated the official poster for the Library of Congress National Book Festival. Later in the same year, she was honored with the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Open This Little Book. In 2016, she was shortlisted for the Hans Christian Andersen Award in recognition of the literary and aesthetic innovation qualities of her works. In 2019, she received the 60th Korean Publishing Culture Award and selected for the IBBY Honour List for River, a book inspired by a personal story of her dog. She has founded Hintoki Press, an independent publishing house, through which she has directly published experimental works such as Sim Cheong and The Magic Jar. She also leads the project group, Vacance, creating and publishing books with diverse themes and novel artistic expressions in collaboration with other picture-book artists. Through varied efforts including independent publishing and group exhibitions, Lee is continuously exploring ways to diversify, broaden, and deepen engagement with readers.
