Lucy Holtsnider is a printmaker and collage artist based in Denver, Colorado. She layers together organic materials, including paper, wood, and ceramic tile, into abstract compositions that evoke memories of both the natural world and the built environment.
Her work has been exhibited at institutions including the Arvada Center for the Arts, the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, the Art, Design and Architecture Museum at UC Santa Barbara, and the International Print Center, New York. She holds a BA from Colorado College and an MFA from UC Santa Barbara.
Her commissioned collages and wall-hanging sculptures appear in hotels and residential buildings in Denver, Nashville, Los Angeles, and Sedona.
