about

Orange County based artist Lily Tsutsumida is both a multidisciplinary artist and a professional art therapist who specializes in art-based therapy for grief and trauma. Lily’s work as an artist is dually driven by her fascination with the human experience and her love of exploring material and fabrication process. Her body of work is varied in material and subject matter, with undercurrents of duality, materiality, balance and personal narrative connecting its otherwise diverse forms.

Lily has exhibited in group shows at Orange County Center for Contemporary Art, Chemers Gallery, Acme 62, Greenly Art Space, Location 1980, World Gallery and Studio 18. Solo installations of her work have been featured in local businesses including Escape Salon and Moongoat Coffee.

She holds an MA in Marital & Family Therapy and Art Therapy from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California and a BA in Art from Pomona College in Claremont, California.
