A native of Falls Church, Virginia, Liberato DiJoseph completed his BA in Fine Arts at Georgetown University. After finishing college in 1996, he moved to New York to pursue an apprenticeship in functional sculpture. During his tenure in Manhattan, Lee first worked with master artisan Jonah Zuckerman making architecturally inspired custom furniture. In late 1998, he went to work with rare wood purveyor Tucker Robbins producing modern primitive pieces for discerning clientele. Returning to Virginia in the spring of 2000, he began building large-scale installations at Winchester Woodworking for commercial jobs, most notably, the United States Library of Congress. Now in Charlottesville, Lee uses his diverse experience to create custom functional wood sculpture of his own design. Richly grained and rare hardwoods are hand selected for clarity and stability resulting in the highest quality one of a kind piece with a distinct personality.
