Lillian Chun is an artist, mother, and art educator based in Ellicott City, MD, originally from Allentown, PA.  Lillian attended the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, MD, where she received a Master’s in Art Teaching (MAT) in 2012 and a Bachelors in Fine Art (BFA) in 2011.  Reprocessing and recontextualizing unsettling memories, visualizing anxiety among womxn, and paradoxes of motherhood, are often themes within her layered mixed media paintings.  

With a painful background history of childhood trauma and loss of both parents to addiction, Lillian was broken wide open as a result and carries a heightened sensitivity and awareness to how womxn’s bodies carry pain and anxiety over time.  As her work blurs boundaries between realism and abstraction, Lillian aims to expose and honor in-between pieces in time, raw thoughts and vulnerable moments that are often concealed from others.
