LILIAN
R. ENGEL
From the time
she was a child growing up in Rhode Island, Lilian Engel exhibited
a natural inclination toward and a passion for the visual arts.
At an early age, she began expressing herself through drawing and
painting, and as an adult, she became a sculptor and graphic designer.
Ms. Engel earned
a B.A. in Technical Theatre/Liberal Arts from Rhode Island College,
studied graphic design at the School of Visual Arts and the Center
for Media Arts in New York where she received a Certificate in Commercial
Arts. While attending open sketch classes at the Art Students League
of New York, she discovered sculpture—a form that has been
her artistic passion ever since. She continued her education at
The League, studying with Rhoda Sherbell, Barney Hodes, Peter Cox,
Leonid Lerman, Silya Kiese and Seiji Saito.
During the last
decade, Ms Engel has exhibited her sculpture extensively in both
the New York City area (Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens) and Providence
Rhode Island. Her work has been purchased by numerous private collectors
in the United States and France and is part of the Art Students
League Permanent Collection. She has received several awards including
the Nessa Cohen Memorial Grant, and she was a prize winner in a
Catherine Lorillard exhibition.
