Her home goods brand BFGF (Boyfriend / Girlfriend) contains products designed by Lilian, which are in many ways extensions of the themes found in her paintings. Lilian Martinez studied photography at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She currently lives and works between Yucca Valley and Los Angeles, CA.
