Justus DaLee (1793 – 1878) was an American folk artist born in Pittstown, New York. He married Mary Fowler October 13, 1816 at White Creek, New York, and they had ten children.

He served as a musician in the War of 1812 and was a professor of penmanship.

He was known for his miniature naïve art side portraits. The majority of his work was for families in New York and New England.

Unfortunately, Justus Dalee lost his eyesight, and had to move to Eden, Wis. to live with a daughter, Harriet DaLee Odekirk Williams.
He died on January 5, 1878, in Eden, Wisconsin and is buried in the Odekirk Cemetery, Eden, Wisconsin.

Stop in at the Eden Historical Society to see his twelve Fowler family portraits. He painted miniatures of his in-laws, Amon and Ruth Fowler and their ten children. The Fowler portraits were done in the 1830s and 1840s.
