Hummingbird, oil on canvas, 36" x 36"

Lily Christie is a 21-year-old mixed-media painter and sculptor based in Los Angeles, CA, and Austin, TX. 
Her work spans varied scales and materials but remains rooted in personal and familial histories, aging, memory, and experiences of loss, grief, and dementia. Through repetitive imagery, she constructs an obsessive and exploratory body of work that functions as a personal diary. Motifs of time and decay recur throughout her practice, softened yet complicated by bright, striking colors and fluid, abstracted brushstrokes. Her intuitive use of color, bodily paint application, and structural fabrication invites both emotional connection and reflection.
