DRG's June Artist of the Month Lilly Russo
Lily started making mosaics as a child using the scraps from her mother's stained glass window projects. An entrepreneur at an early age, she turned her passion into a business specializing in mosaic furniture. Lily studied painting at the University of Illinois and graduated with a B.A. in International Studies, with a concentration on Human Rights in Latin America. She has lived abroad in Ecuador and Australia and is inspired by the intricate patterns of indigenous designs. She enjoys making beautifully decorative and brightly colored art, and also doing largescale custom mosaic installation to make unique living spaces. In addition to making mosaics, Lily enjoys rock climbing, yoga, and adventure traveling. Her latest creative venture is learning to be a tattoo artist at Skindalous Tattoo!
