The Artist

Lily has been painting, displaying and selling her works for over 35 years; primarily in the Southern California art communities including galleries in La Jolla, Santa Barbara, San Juan Capistrano, Laguna ,Ventura, and Marina Del Ray. As a resident Las Vegas artist, Lily continues to expand her credits and successful style.

Lily began her career with oils; primarily self taught she continues to develop her own personal style with inspiration that comes from within.

“Early on with my career, I developed a serious passion to express myself though painting. Each time I start a new piece, I feel as though I am starting on a new adventure; I never know where it may take me!”

While favoring Landscapes, Seascapes and Historical Landmarks, she also enjoys private commission work where the objective is to transform people’s mental images into reality. Since moving to Vegas she has developed a real passion for the beauty found in the local deserts of Nevada. She is presently giving private instructions and workshops around the Las Vegas area.

“I started my career on the beaches of southern California with oils, while living in New York I found watercolors really lent themselves to the New York landscapes and styles. I am always exploring new techniques for my expression on canvas or paper. Most recently found my self dabbling in Acrylics. I tend to favor realism for its attention to fine detail”.

In New York, Lily was the “artist in camp” at Pat Mitchell’s in Apalachin, NY and spent two years as the resident artist at The Art Space Gallery of New York.

Lily’s paintings have appeared in numerous exhibitions and won several awards for her oils and watercolors. First place winner of the Torret Grey contest sponsored by Gamblin Paints 2004. Santa Paula 66th art and photography art show placed first place in the “Douglas Shively award of Excellence” and in the 67th Santa Paula show she placed First in Oils First as “Peoples Choice” and “Best in Show”. At the Ramona Rodeo Art Festival First place in Oils just to name a few.

Lily is currently member of Vegas Artist Guild and CAC Las Vegas, represented at NorthWinds Gallery (Ventura) and continues to expand her clientele. Her works are included in public and private collections throughout Las Vegas, California, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Illinois, North Carolina, New York and Europe.
