Lily Sabine

I was born in 2004 in the Fort Worth area and am currently pursuing my B.F.A. in Studio Art at the University of North Texas, where I’ll graduate in 2027. My work explores femininity, identity, and the ways people connect and disconnect with one another. Much of my practice is rooted in my own lived experiences. These realities shape how I understand vulnerability, intimacy, and power, and they surface in my work through symbolic imagery, layered forms, and the tension between control and chaos.

I create pieces that chase a certain honesty—about resilience, contradiction, softness, and strength. Storytelling is central to my practice, but I’m less interested in giving answers than in asking questions. I want my work to prompt viewers to sit with ambiguity, to reflect, and to bring their own narratives into the conversation.

Color, form, and symbolism allow me to translate the complexities of womanhood as I’ve lived it—its beauty, its contradictions, and its fractures—into something that feels both deeply personal and universally recognizable. Above all, I want my art to create a space where vulnerability isn’t a weakness, but a point of connection.
