Karlee Lillywhite HeadshotITIA ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE

Hometown: Folsom, California
Education: BA in English, University of California, Berkeley
MLitt in Theology and the Arts, University of St Andrews

Having completed the ITIA MLitt, Karlee is continuing her exploration of the intersection of theology and illustration as ITIA’s Artist-in-Residence for the 2021-22 academic year.

Both her pen and watercolour pieces and her digitally-painted graphite drawings are inspired by medieval illuminated manuscripts and illustrations of the Art Nouveau period. Her work is interested in engaging with text to tell stories visually – particularly the stories of women – and in the power of illustration to offer holistic, embodied spiritual practices.

Karlee is excited to be participating in Theoartistry’s 2021 Text&Image scheme. She also helps to coordinate ITIA’s artist group Transept (including helping to run and exhibiting work in the Spring 2021 Exhibition In/break), and is an associate editor for ITIA’s online journal Transpositions.

You can see Karlee’s work on her website or instagram.
