Lillian Chun (b. Allentown, PA 1989) is an interdisciplinary artist and educator whose work weaves together different threads of personal experiences and states of being to create visual narratives through mixed media painting and lyrical photography.  Chun’s artistic process is a deeply introspective one, where the act of art-making becomes a form of excavation.  Memories, both vivid and faded, are transmuted into vibrant, tactile forms that challenge the viewer to confront their own relationships with nostalgia and personal memory.  Chun has exhibited her work nationally and internationally, with work featured in podcasts and published in contemporary art magazines.   She earned her BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2011 and MAT in 2012.  Chun currently lives and works in Ellicott City, MD.  ​
