Lett has been an artist for almost half a century. He attended Hiwassee College and The University of Tennessee, majoring in art education and related arts. He took several graduate classes, private class in lapidary work, and many work shops in various areas.
Lett made objects and animals from scraps while serving in the United States Army in South Korea that was featured in “The Army Times” and “The Stars and Stripes”. He has done store display work, commercial art, sign painting, and taught art in the Knoxville City Schools for almost thirty years. His work has been shown in department stores, churches, homes, hospitals, and offices. He has shown with the Foothill Craft Guild, the Southern Highland Guild and is a lifetime member of both.
