Lee Creelman was born around 1895 and was a fashion illustrator, contributing to Vogue. She was the wife of the illustrator Carl Erickson known as Eric, who was also a regular contributor to Vogue magazine. They were married in 1920 and moved to Paris which was to be their post until the start of the Second World War.
Lee Creelman Erickson regularly contributed sketches to Vogue. In fact during the 20's she was for a period, rather more prominent than her husband Eric.
Throughout the 20's and 30's, her stylish chic drawings appeared in the American and French editions of Vogue.
When war came to Paris, Lee and Eric joined the endless flow of refugees. She wrote "flight is too swift a word to describe so dreadful a thing as this. Exodus is better, slower, heavier and more painful." They made their way to New York, where they both remained for the duration of the World War II.
Nothing much more is seen from her in Vogue after the war. It may be that she retired and let him take the limelight after that. Her husband Eric's illustrations figured prominently in Vogue up till his death in 1958. She was in her 60's when he died.
