2019: Flatbed Press in Austin
So pleased to have been part of the early wave of female Texas artists that were invited to work at Flatbed Press in Austin. I used to do a lot of printmaking when I lived in Austin and Director Katherine Brimberry's enthusiasm for all things printed was contagious-Hope to be able to work with her again. Robert Faires of the Austin Chronicle wrote a great article about the show "WOMEN OF FLATBED: A RETROSPECTIVE" which is currently on view at the Elisabet Ney Museum in Austin.

2019: Park Ave Studios
Below are two of the several works I exhibited at PARK AVE STUDIOS in Savanah as part of a pop-up show organized by Ms. Sharon Norwood. The exhibition's theme was "Hyphenated-Nature" because I paired some of my on-site US made works with my "Hecho Con Cuba" series.

2019: Residency at VCCA
Sneak-peek at some of the new Hecho Con Cuba works made during my 2-week residency at VCCA- Interesting how when I was working at the edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains I ended up making works about chasing the Caribbean picturesque in a post-utopian landscape by literally super-imposing the iconic Pinar del Rio Cuban landscape (with Cuban soil I turned into pigment from the Viñales Valley) onto the Modernist grid (which were based on the local house colors)-simultaneously embracing and rejecting "the grid"-

2018: Relational Undercurrents
RELATIONAL UNDERCURRENTS show extended through March 4.
In a new review of Relational Undercurrents James Scarborough writes, "WHAT IF I JUST HAD 20 MINUTES? Once you understand how banyan trees grow from seeds that land on other trees and, over time, germinate and strangle their host, you'll better appreciate the incisive commentary of Lilian Garcia-Roig’s Fluid Perceptions: Banyan as Metaphor, 2016."- January 29, 2018Great to see that my painting was the first work prioritized to see if you only had 20 minutes to view the show-read the full review at:
2018: Cernuda Arte (HECHO EN CUBA)
Cernuda Arte will be showing my new HECHO EN CUBA paintings this year. A solo show of these works will open May 4 but a sneak preview is up now. These paintings were made on-site in, in the iconic Pinar del Rio region of Cuba....I was trying to (as literally as possible) follow in the footsteps of the great Cuban landscape painters...while still trying to do my own Cuban-American thing.
