“I think there’s some magic in silliness, in plastic, sparkles, and a little gold paint, even a neon sign proclaiming nothing important! My work leans into the cheap and tacky and wraps it in a colorful package. The weight lies in the rendering. Something happens when a plastic sequin is blown up to be a foot wide and painted with attention to each highlight and shadow.

My dream is that my work brightens days, energizes spaces, and resonates with some of you!”

Lily grew up in Fairfield County, CT and is delighted to have found her way back to the area 6 years ago. Lily teaches art full-time at a local middle school, and she finds that working with students in the classroom is constantly informing her own art practice. This year she has the privilege of being a Resident Artist at The Norwalk Art Space.
