Billy Frolov is an American painter whose work explores the interior landscape of domestic space and the objects that inhabit them. Serving as portals to memories and places no longer accessible, her paintings aim to fill voids longing for comfort.

Though born in Buffalo New York, Frolov largely grew up in suburban Virginia outside of DC. She relocated to Los Angeles in 2013, graduated from ArtCenter College of Design in 2018, and her first solo show ran at Monte Vista Projects in Los Angeles in January 2020.
