Liz Guilmet

Liz Guilmet is a Lecturer at the University of Michigan's Stamps School of Art & Design, where she serves as the Stamps Faculty Lead in Partnership with the Office of the President. A multidisciplinary artist, her practice combines drawing with visceral materials like blood, honey, and gold, referencing both scientific illustration and religious iconography. Her work often engages with natural history specimens, creating dialogues with deceased creatures from global museums.

Educational Background:

• BFA in Studio Art from the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design (2008)
• MFA from Washington University in St. Louis Sam Fox School of Art (2014)

Her artistic approach explores intersections of material art and biological narratives, exemplified by works like Black bear study from natural history storage cabinets (2015). This piece, created with ink, charcoal, and blood, reflects her focus on natural history specimens and visceral materiality.
