Big Paintings by Lizzie Bilbrey & Lily Groot on View May 7 - 31, 2026 Patina Gallery | 2201 E Michigan St, Indianapolis, IN 46201 To create big work is to gratify the most expressive self; the product of which is so immensely of the room that it cannot go unnoticed. So big you feel like you could step into it: that you feel of it, and in it. From ideating, to creating, to showing and viewing - it is a form of resistance against the intangibility of the smartphone era. Leaning into the expansiveness of our work is a way to clear the fog of perceived connection, and see clearly the hereness of ourselves, each other, and the earth. — VIP Preview | for supporters, by invitation only.

🚲👋 I just wanted to post about how central riding my bike is to my creative practice. The pictures I make are an act of lingering on small moments of beauty and connection to myself and the wider world, not dissimilar to when I tend a garden, cut flowers, ride my bike, sew/mend, clean up trash on my block or pick berries. On a bike, strange faces on my commute grow familiar, and so do the flowers and trees. My practice involves seeing myself in things that aren't me, and conjuring a moment, color, or feeling to show to all of you, and if I'm lucky getting everyone all together I'm a room to spend time together. Riding my bike reinforces that connectedness to the world around me, and is an unending well of inspiration. My bike is a @brooklynbikeco Franklin, that I've had converted to a single speed, I got it during the pandemic when I lived in Philly from @fairmountbikes and it's my baby. 🩷 I've changed the grips, wheels, seat, added a rear rack, and beat it up a bit. thank you to @blxxrdxxtrxck for coordinating bike picture day. 🌷 photo by @morexfire

Big news! ⭐ I am honored to share that my mobile print bike project has been awarded a Project Grant from the Indy Arts Council with support from the City of Indianapolis. This opportunity will allow me to create public arts experiences that bring people together, celebrate community, and expand access to creativity across Marion County. My project will be bringing live printmaking demonstrations into public spaces via bike! 🚲 🌞 I am so excited to bring this project to life and share updates along the way here on Instagram, as well as through my newsletter & journal on my website. More details on where to find my demonstrations coming soon. #ProjectGrant #ArtInPublicSpaces #acreativelifeforall photo on film by @jasminetafoyaphoto

Made this painting for Show Your Work at RE:PUBLIC curated by @naptownfloral . Here's a little video of the quiet part before the show of hanging. Not pictured is me measuring / doing napkin math. it's from my hopefulness series, about the killing frost this spring, which had me convinced all of the daffodils were done for this year, but their wisdom had them blooming anyways. Gardening is an exercise in hopefulness, and there's something to that which my heart has needed lately. Plus, I’ve been super fixated on the quilt star motif, and a lot of my work lately has had a quilty border, but I wanted to take it further and integrate it directly into the composition, forcing a visual comparison between the starry-shaped blooms of daffodils and the quilt star iconography. The composition also just needed more pink.

way too cool being a part of the @16xmonon project today. Thank you @megsj1art for your really thoughtful design + planning work and @cheqwon88 & @cjcrtv for being great fellow art team members. @andreamwatts assisted me big time all day, which was as helpful as it was fun. It was wild how many volunteers we had to help us with this big piece! If you are one of those people reading this THANK YOU! Today was awesome because of you! I've wanted to be involved in an art in the right of way project for years, and it was very kind of @indycarlite to welcome me onto the art team as an artist-cyclist. I hope the study goes well and we get a more permanent solution that works better for everyone who uses this street. 💚🧡♥️🩷
