Born in Massachusetts. Lee Reinhold has traveled extensively throughout Europe and Mexico. Her passion for the fine arts and interiors began when she was a child influenced heavily by her creative parents and grandparents...from artists,craftsmen, to scientists.

Lee attended New England School of Art in Boston studying interior design. She graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Lowell, Lowell, Ma. Upon graduation she traveled abroad to continue her studies in Italian Renaissance in Florence, Italy... immersing herself in the art and culture. When she returned to the U.S., she exhibited her paintings in the Kingston Gallery in Boston. While pursuing her art she was employed by Federated Stores as a photo stylist and continued for Federated in the Visual Merchandise Department. She later worked as an interior decorator for a designer boutique on Newbury Street in Boston.

While working as a interior decorator she came across an exquisite home in Boston with Faux Finish & Decorative Painting throughout the entire home....the rest is history. Lee was in the world of design but began to study the art form of faux finish and decorative painting. Being schooled and trained as a fine artist coupled w/ her extensive decorating expertise and background led to a natural culmination of the two into the specialization of Faux Finish & Decorative Painting & Customization of Hand painted Furniture. Lee has mastered Faux Finish & Decorative Painting & Custom Painted Furniture but continues to educate herself in new techniques and surfaces attending workshops and seminars.

In the year 2000, Lee founded her company, Kensington Designs specializing in Faux Finish and Decorative Painting, Antique Patina Fireplaces (Tuscan look), Custom Hand painted Furniture & Floorcloths, Hand painted Signature Furniture Line, Children’s Signature Furniture Line, and Interior Decoration Services.
