Being involved with the sea was inevitable for Lee Gutterson. Living across the road from the Pacific Ocean while growing up in Napier, New Zealand, gave him a unique perspective and appreciation of the ocean. With "fish" as his high school nickname, Lee's childhood involvement with the ocean proved to be a continuing interest as he went on to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Marine Biology and a Master's in Entomology. He developed his own business in New Zealand making custom designed furniture and commissioned pieces in wood and metal. Lee resided in Southampton, NY creating furniture and sculpture in his home studio for five years.  In September 2006 he moved back to Wellington, New Zealand with his family.
