| About the Artist Lily 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. Besides for making mosaics and
other arts and crafts, Lily enjoys the outdoors,
traveling, reading, music, cooking, spending time
with family and friends, and teaching and practicing
yoga.

Studio Manager and Instructor at the Institute of

work was displayed in a solo exhibition at the
