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

I’ve shared work in public and private exhibitions in Washington DC, New York, and Portland, and appeared in in outlets like Smithsonian Magazine, Atlas Obscura, World Architecture, Summerhouse, and The Mary Christie Quarterly. My work draws on my background in earth science, my roots in California, 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.
