Maria-Lucilia Gorre (MLG) is an artist and musician from Rochester, New York, currently based in San Francisco. A first-generation Filipino-American, she often feels like she lives in the seams of things. Her work includes drawings, paintings, and prints that colorfully reflect interior and exterior worlds–imaginative, emotional, and microscopic. Attempting to find harmony in a dissonant world, she spends a lot of time daydreaming, looking closely at things, and making up stories about the mundane. The rest of the time, she drums and messes around with synthesizers.
From 2015-2020, she served as the founder, creative director, and editor-in-chief for I Heart ROC, a website, social platform, and creative community chronicling the lives and loves of the people of Rochester. Her visual essay Shadowplaces, was a Spring Showcase finalist for the Art of Freelance creative accelerator workshop, and has been featured in the Medium magazine, Human Parts.
