Ingrid Lilligren |
 |
My parents named me after a family friend who was an artist. Curious about art processes, I attended school at the University of Wisconsin in River Falls where a B.F.A. degree was completed in 1980. In 1986 I received an M.F.A. from The Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, California where I worked with Paul Soldner. After teaching at colleges in Los Angeles, in 1993 I moved to Iowa and am a professor in the Department of Art and Design at Iowa State University. My work is primarily ceramic sculpture and mixed media.
