Lilyann J. Gardner (b. 2002) is a multimedia storyteller from St. Joseph, Missouri. She began her creative journey at a young age and holds a passion for learning, exploring, and capturing the world around her. No story is too big or too small in her eyes. She has a sweet spot for folklore and believes that the land and environment both shape and preserve our respective cultural practices and traditions. She received her BA in Film, Television, and Theatre at the University of Notre Dame (Go Irish!), and she is currently pursuing her MFA in Experimental and Documentary Arts at Duke University. Her professional experiences include communication and digital media internships with non-profit organizations such as the Council on Foreign Relations, Notre Dame Research, the American Council of Learned Societies, and the Sabin Vaccine Institute.
It is none the less true that life imitates art far more than art imitates life.
– Oscar Wilde
