Lillian Blades
"I am a full time visual artist from Nassau, Bahamas currently living in Atlanta, GA. I'm a Public Artist and a Studio Artist whose assemblage artwork reflects the improvisational compositions, colors and patterns of quilts and the textural qualities of memorial art. My inspirations are rooted in ancestral and matriarchal visual traditions I connect with."
