ARTIST
I deliver dreams into this world.
One of my greatest joys in life is creating set designs, costumes, and installation art for live performances. I also find deep satisfaction in storytelling through illustration & book design.
My life is filled with a profound sense of fulfillment and happiness through these creative passions, combined with living harmoniously with the earth using permaculture practices and fostering intimate human connections.
My work has been showcased at the Bellevue Art Museum, featured in illustration journals, published in a book, and presented at a film festival. I have received over $100,000 in art-related scholarships, earned a degree in illustration from Parsons, and won a national award in newspaper design.
Hi, I'm Lily!
It is my belief in a vision that brings my skills to life, rather than the medium.
Creative Collaborations
Bread & Puppet
In 2023, I joined Bread and Puppet Theatre in NYC to perform in their
week-long "Circus" act.
Bread and Puppet Theatre, founded in 1963, is an activist theatre group depicted in the film "Across the Universe."
I decided to participate in this particular circuit as a protest against genocide.
it was a pleasure to be part of such a whimsical and authentic group of performers while operating giant
multi-person puppets acting and building dozens of papier-mâché rats.
SEED
I've had the pleasure of traveling with Sacred Element Designs to install beautiful laser-cut wooden LED
designs for stages at music festivals.
I've assisted in building & installing forms,
as well as the lighting and DMX systems.
My favorite aspect of this work is running the lighting programs during live performances. Everything I've aided in is done with the wonderful guidance of the artist Maurice Legendre.
Wild Goods
During my several years with Wild Goods, I foraged wild edible mushrooms, prepared truffle butters, and created and packaged delicious whimsical wild foraged foods and medicines.
I also handled administrative tasks, ran farmers market booths, and created
screen-printed artworks and clothing.
Earthen Hollow
For two years, I lived at and managed a
40-acre homestead farm in Appalachia.
During this chapter of my life I organized
live-in volunteers, cared for goats and chickens, ran a free farm stand and market, tended to orchards, discovered organic solutions to pests, coordinated events and workshops, and ran tree house airbnbs for the farm.
I also designed and published a book with the owner while living this lifestyle.
Uni & The Urchins
I created the backdrop design for a music video for this client.
I love their otherworldly playfulness. You can watch the full video here.
Fun fact: Sean Lennon (Yoko and John Lennons son) is in this band!
