Lilli is a visual artist and mixed media designer based in San Francisco. Lilli grew up in downtown Oakland and went to Oakland School for the Arts for 7 years, exploring visual art, set design, and fashion design. She then continued her creative education at the best public architecture school in the country, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, where she received a Bachelor of Architecture.
She is currently an architectural designer working in San Francisco.
At the end of the 5-year program, she developed a thesis that explored how to question the typical idea of home through the lens of dreams and the collective consciousness. After graduating, she continued exploring this dream logic through abstract visual art. Her artistic journey is influenced by her severe dyslexia, which has given her the tools to question reality and led her toward abstraction.
She often uses recycled materials in her work, finding story and energy in disregarded art and objects. Through this process, she creates pieces that exist in conversation with past works, other makers, and the collective consciousness.
She believes that learning how to create abstract art is accessible to anyone and can be a healing tool that connects you to your own subconscious as well as the collective.
