Fit for Royalty with Lilly Fitzgerald!

Posted by
Lilly Fitzgerald studied fine art and painting at museum schools in Montreal and Worcester, Massachusetts. “At heart I’m a frustrated painter and sculptor,” says Fitzgerald.   
Working with twenty-two karat gold, the majority of Fitzgerald’s pieces are hand fabricated.  The focus of her designs is the finest of gems and minerals that she sources from around the world.  Lilly often incorporates vintage materials and rare artifacts resurrected from prior lives to create an extraordinary amalgam of past and present.

Described as luminous and elegant, Fitzgerald’s work crosses over from decorative to fine art.  “I make no distinction between craft and art with respect to work like hers,” notes Jonathan Fairbanks, former curator of American Decorative Arts and Sculpture at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts.
Fitzgerald has received numerous awards and honors from the American Craft Exposition, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, and the Boston Society for Arts & Crafts, among others.  Her work is included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and private collections throughout the United States…talk about heirloom!
