One of the indigenous people of the Columbia River Gorge, Lillian Pitt is known as a great innovator within her tradition. She has chosen to work in clay using Asian techniques like raku and anagama, to work in bronze or precious metals, to incorporate wood, copper, glass, shell, leather, feathers, and a wide variety of materials, and to mix media and technologies from around the globe.

With the turn of the millenium, Lillian's art took on an even larger dimension, as she and a team of Native American artists were commissioned by the city of Portland, OR, the Oregon Convention Center, Portland State University, and a variety of other municipalities and cultural institutions to create public art that reflects this heritage. On the pages that follow, you will see examples of Lillian's art in a wide range of media.

The slide show below is a collection of Lillian's masks, public art, and offerings in a variety of media. The slides may take some time to load, as they are large images, but we hope you enoy the experience.
