Biography

After graduating from Central Saint Martin’s with a 1st class BA Hons and The Royal Drawing School’s Drawing Year, Lily studied an MA in Fine Art at City & Guilds of London Art School, graduating in 2022. Her works lie in a dream world made up of sources from her memories, her everyday environment and her emotions. Desire is a key theme in her work and she uses painting to explore the surreal situations that we might find ourselves in when seeking out our desires. These situations are tender, brutal, humorous and melancholic.
