Born in Ft. Hood, Texas, and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, for most of her life, Cicely Hill earned her MFA at the University of South Carolina. Her art currently tackles issues of race, identity, and historical injustice. She is very interested in creating works with multiple layers that encourage thought and open dialogue about race in America. Her art spans several mediums β sculpture, drawing, painting, and textiles are all a part of her exploration of her preferred topic. Hill utilizes many facets of expression, also making prints, books, and other art with lighter subject matter. She works toward this while immersing herself in the stream of life both in her art and as a Black woman living in this society.
