About the Artist
A visual artist best known for her intricate drawings with surrealistic renderings, Liliana Wilson was born in Valparaíso, Chile, where she began drawing at the age of eight. She immigrated to the United States in 1977 and pursued studies in art at Texas State University. Her medium is color pencil on paper or illustration board or acrylic on canvas, panel or illustration board. Liliana’s history of artistic expressions is the subject of a book edited by Dr. Norma E. Cantú titled Ofrenda: Liliana Wilson’s Art of Dissidence and Dreams (Texas A&M Press, 2015).
