cancer diagnosis. As she recovered, she began to create a full handmade inventory and start
working again. She took a part time position with New Haven’s own Vintanthromodern Vintage
working as an assistant as well as handling booking and promotions. Vintanthromodern’s
Melissa Gonzales was a big influence on Ms. Lyons. Jillian utilized her experience when taking her small collection of vintage clothing to create an online business, Valley Vintage. Jillian uses
both of these businesses to create unusual portraits and themed photos individually as well as in
collaborative efforts with artists such as Ginger Grant and Mike Chaiken, and frequently partners
with Abstract Koncepts. Her work is driven by her life experiences, high camp, and her feelings
on life and death. She also really LOVES Halloween!
Prior to 2010, Jillian Lyons was an independent artist who worked with other artists and crafters
to create branding and promote themselves, as well as organizing unique events. She also sold
her work through boutiques, shops and galleries throughout Connecticut and New York.
Jillian cordially invites you to visit this little world of spooky throughout the week of October 27th
November 3rd from 12pm 7pm. Popup 55 is located at 55 Church Street in downtown
New Haven. It will be open every day from 12pm -7pm.
