o Artist: Lilian Garcia-Roig

o Title: "Cumulative Nature: Deering Sabal Palm"

o Year: 2024
o Medium: on-site oil on canvas painting made at the Deering Estate

o Dimensions: 30 x 24 inches
o Description: As an on-site painter, place is integral to both my subject and process. As a Cuban-born immigrant, my landscape-themed works explore the complex propositions of sense of place and belonging which so influence the construction of personal identity. Up until this year, one of the greatest ironies of my career had been that while I had lived in Florida (Tallahassee) for over two decades, I had never been able to work in South Florida until this year when I was an A-I-R at the Deering Estate where I focused on painting endemic plants. Each painting is created over the course of the day in an intense wet-on-wet cumulative manner that underscores the nature of trying to capture the ever-changing experience of being in that specific location all day.
Significant recognitions include: Guggenheim Fellowship, Joan Mitchel Painting Award, NEA in Painting and residencies such as Skowhegan, MacDowell, Art Omi & Millay.
