She is inspired by numerous diving expeditions, hundreds of notebooks and observations of animals and plants, and delicate studies of species that live alongside us, often overlooked on our Human planet. Lily seems to labour under each detail, glorifying their forms, patterns and structures, attempting to capture their majesty by meditating upon their beauty and evolution. Lily says, “I want to give a visual voice to the natural world. I place nature as the highest currency on Planet Earth” The works shift from found objects and surfaces, drawn, painted, installed and pasted in the street. Her practice moves from studio to street, evolving over time, changing with the weather, reacting to her changing environments. The work Lily makes in the street is a deliberate collaboration with nature, adapting to the influences of architecture, plants, pollution, graffiti and natural erosion. Join Lily as she teaches you how to draw a mandala, inspired by natural patterns.
