Our second featured visual artist is the incredible Lilian Agar.

Originally from Mexico, Lilian is an interdisciplinary artist and human rights activist based between Salt Lake City, UT; and Los Angeles, CA. With a degree in Digital Graphic Design, she has pushed her digital skills to explore social topics through her realistic artwork. She is currently starting a new path in her education to become a therapist.

Her projects shine an empathetic light towards difficult social issues in hopes to provide positive art experiences.

Her latest project, A Hug Away: a breathing temple of love, project explores the vital role that acceptance and respect has in young queer folx's life in the capital of the LDS religion, Utah. View the online archive here: https://www.lillyagar.com/art
