"My subject matter revolves around transitional spaces and conditions, whether they be physical spaces or emotional states," Warren said. "My current series features the commonplace urban/suburban landscape painted in acrylic and oil on mylar. I am drawn to this landscape, emptied of people but with the heavy footprint of our presence. These lonely, liminal spaces reflect our connection with, but also alienation from, nature and our frequent isolation from others."
Examples of Warren's artwork are available at anyatishgallery.com/artist/lillian-warren.
ASU's Henry Edwards Artist in Residence program is supported by the Edwards Family Trust, which was established in 1992 by Joseph Henry Edwards and Winona Edwards of San Angelo. It provides funding for the ASU art program, including support for scholarships for outstanding visual art students, a lectureship in the visual and performing arts, and the artist residency.
The purpose of the residency is to bring to the university noted individuals in the visual arts to share their knowledge, expertise, and creative research with students, faculty, staff, and the greater San Angelo community. The residency is dedicated to improving the overall artistic environment at ASU and the programming within the Department of Visual and Performing Arts.
