ABOUT LIZ
Liz Flores is a Chicago based artist and muralist, painting the human form through shapes and colors. Four years ago she made the leap from corporate America into the art world. Her work explores the human condition, the female body, and how emotion can be represented through movement and shape.
In this time she has shared her story on the TEDx stage, brought an interactive art installation titled ‘The World We Want’ to Michigan Avenue, and has collaborated with brands like Lululemon and Sephora. Her work has been shown in international art competitions including ArtPrize Nine and group shows around Chicago. Currently, Liz is filling up her studio with new paintings, freelancing and scouting mural locations.
