Lily Strelich is a writer and artist based in Portland, OR.

I’ve shared my pieces in public and private exhibitions in Washington DC, New York, and Portland, and my work has appeared in outlets like Smithsonian Magazine, Hakai Magazine, World Architecture, and The Mary Christie Quarterly.

My art practice draws on my background in earth science and my magpie tendencies—I play with abstract forms, organic textures, and found objects. But my primary medium is attention: Through Present/Perfect, I host participatory movement pieces and creative gatherings to foster community and profound presence.
