Lily Timberlake is a painter based in Austin, Texas, currently working on a series of oil paintings that lean into the joyful, tender, and transient moments that sustain a life. Drawing from her immediate environment, her work seeks to capture the fleeting nature of experience, and encourages the viewer to slow down. Her paintings are often built up in washes of both thick and thin paint, leaving certain areas open and gestural, while rendering others more defined and dense. After receiving a BFA in painting from the Kansas City Art Institute in 2018, she relocated her practice to Austin, where she lives with her partner, painter Christopher Miller, and their cattle dog Rio. Her work has been shown at Cloudtree Gallery, the Dodge Painting Gallery, and has been featured in I Like Your Work’s Winter 2024 Exhibition Catalogue.
