Liliana Washburn
Brazilian Born, Liliana Washburn is a contemporary painter and Illustrator.
Liliana started painting at the age of thirty seven. Later, she graduated Summa Cum Laude from SUNY New Paltz with a Bachelor’s degree in Visual Arts.
Initially, her main body of work consisted of large abstract works on Yupo paper, a synthetic paper made by Yupo Corporation America. Her daily practice included the creation of an automatic miniature drawing as a warm-up for her paintings on Yupo paper.
In 2016, during a residency in Poland, she painted one of her miniature drawings on a large canvas. Today, the inter-relation between drawings and illustrations is the focus of her interest. Her paintings and illustrations have been shown nationally and internationally and are part of many private collections.
Liliana believes in art as therapy. Through her art, she shares the emotional energy of a specific moment. As she puts it: “I call my work human-nature, because it is human nature to express all emotions. It is sharing them that allows us to connect to each other … I paint because it makes me feel happy. It is my hope that when you look at my work we can share that moment of happiness”.
She lives near a lake in Holmes, New York with her husband of 20 years.
