About:

Liz Squillace (b. 1977, Connecticut) transforms urban landscapes into uplifting artistic experiences. A RISD graduate now pursuing a Painting Studies Certificate at her alma mater, Squillace inhabits the creative intersection of public art and fine art technique at Read's Artspace live/work studios in Bridgeport, CT.
Through her company, Paradox Ink, Squillace weaves color and form into the fabric of city life. Her signature works—the painted stairway of the Broad Street Steps and her murals at the Bridgeport Train Station—invite passersby to pause and experience art in unexpected moments of daily life. Liz's latest mural adorns the exterior of the North Branch Library in Bridgeport.
From her studio/storefront nestled in the historic Arcade Mall, Squillace bridges traditional and contemporary approaches, incorporating textile techniques such as embroidery and tapestry weaving into her art. Liz and her partner Ruben currently teach weaving at Yale University.
