Hi, I'm Lily.
I’m a Colorado-based artist and designer. I have over two years of professional experience in graphic design, and my art has been featured in a number of exhibitions. I’m always searching for new techniques and media to experiment with, but my current favorites are drawing and mixed-media collage. I love creating artwork that is whimsical, colorful, and inspired by my environment.
When I'm not creating or working, I also enjoy reading, playing with my cat, and hiking!
