Lilian Garcia-Roig
Solid Fluidity

In Solid Fluidity, Lilian Garcia-Roig conveys the reflectivity, transparency, density, and luminosity
of water and woods with boldly textured paintings. Her plein-air paintings reflect a passionate
engagement with the subject and the painting process that began during a fellowship at
Skowhegan in 1990.

Garcia-Roig was born in Havana, Cuba, reared in Houston, and lives in Tallahassee, Florida,
where she is a Professor at Florida State University. She received degrees at Southern Methodist
University (BFA) and the University of Pennsylvania (MFA) and taught for nine years at The
University of Texas at Austin. Among her awards are a Joan Mitchell Foundation Award, a
Mid-America Arts Alliance/NEA Fellowship Award in Painting, and a State of Florida Individual
Artist Grant Fellowship. Museum collections include the Austin Museum of Art, Blanton
Museum of Art, El Paso Museum of Art, Huntsville Museum of Art, Museum of South Texas,
Polk Museum of Art, San Angelo Museum of Art, among many others. This is Garcia-Roig’s
seventh solo exhibition at Valley House Gallery.

A 24 page catalogue with essay by Dr. Richard Shiff will be available.
