Bio & CV
Lyta Christian is a non-binary interdisciplinary artist based in
Baltimore. They received a BFA in General Fine Arts from the Maryland
Institute College of Art in 2021. During their time at MICA, Lyta received
MICA’s DaVinci Award, Creative Vision Award, Creative Leadership Award,
Academic Excellence Scholarship, and made Dean’s list. Their work spans
many media, but focuses mostly on fiber work, oil-based media, and
gameplay within art. Common themes in their work are inner-perception and
identity. They are most proud of their Ukrainian embroidery project, a series
of embroidered banner patterns that recount the history and strength of
Ukrainian culture. Other notable works include “Fashion Impact” a wearable
art piece created by Lyta in 2016 as part of the ManneqArt Competition which won the “Christine and George Bachrach High School Artist” Award, and the ongoing project “Journey of the Bicameral Mind”, an interactive art piece that utilizes web design, puzzle-building, and story-telling.
