A Brief History

Lili Francuz, French-born American Abstract Artist, Mixed Media Artist, collage, painting, Northern Colorado. My parents and I immigrated in the fifties from France, not long after World War II. I grew up in Idaho, where, for a few years, we were the only European immigrants in town. It was not until my mid-twenties that I began delving into university art classes, which led to two degrees. I explored textiles, painting, and printmaking. I come from a family that works with their hands: an ornamental iron maker, a chef, a hair stylist, a painter, and a craftsman.
