Kerry Lee was educated at Reading Schools of Arts and Science, the Slade and the Paris-Sorbonne University. Lee subsequently assisted his step-father, an architect named Mr. Harvey, as a draftsman. Following the Depression, Lee set up Associated Artists' at Blandford Studios off Baker Street, with a group of other commercial artists.
