Lily is a studio artist from Chicago whose work usually lies in the fundamentals of printmaking, metalwork, and paper-making. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Studio Arts with a concentration in Printmaking. Her practice is grounded in a concept or emotion she wants to captivate through forms, expressing this idea through the intentional use of materials. The materials she uses tend to hold a sense of duality in their physical qualities. Lily continually attempts to soften and add a feminine aspect to typically more masculine material, such as steel. She draws inspiration from collecting moments, words, theories, and memories to distill the physical to describe the intangible through her work. Lily seeks to create something that makes one think, feel, and act, speaking to the things we will never be able to express fully, but the merit in trying.
When Lily is not making art or reading theory, she loves to explore the city she works in, drink chia lattes, bake, and read. She currently works at a floral studio and event design company — Life in Bloom, as Floral Design Manager, and loves the ability to apply her design skills to help create large-scale floral designs all over the city.
