LILY MASSEE
Lily (b. 1999) is a mixed-media artist based in the Berkshire Hills of New England. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, Lily studied Visual Art at Los Angeles County High School for the Arts (LACHSA). She went on to receive her bachelor’s degree in Liberal Arts with a concentration in Fine Art and Social Ecology from Sarah Lawrence College in 2022.
Lily has since been cultivating her practice both at home and abroad, attending the Museum of Loss and Renewal’s Air, Sea, and Soil: MICRO MACRO Group Residency in Orkney, Scotland; Archival Bootcamp’s Nomadic Artist Residency in Valencia, Spain; Art Farm’s Artist and Writer Residency in Nebraska, USA; La Wayaka Current’s Arts & Ecology Research and Residency Program in the Atacama Desert, Chile; and La Ceiba Grafica’s Learning Residency in Coatepec, Mexico. This fall she will be participating in AADK Spain’s Traces/Huellas Residency Programme for three months at Centro Negra in Blanca, Spain.
Her art explores the tensions between permanence and impermanence, presence and absence, in landscape, memory, and the body.
