About Lily

A contemporary painter and natural empath, my most recent body of work captures my subjects in our world with an abstract slant. I expose a subtle world of feeling into a visible format using colour, texture and form as a language tool to convey thoughts, emotions, feelings and imaginations on to the canvas. Due to the volatile nature of our times it is a common experience to feel stress and uncertainties; my most recent body of work are various statements of 'Light at the end of the Tunnel' in the language of alchemy; capturing the unseen magical world of mind, body and spirit.  For the full benefit of their subtleties the pictures are best viewed in real life as it is difficult to capture these qualities in photography.

In my work the circle is very significant. It represents a myriad of things. It is an ideogram of the one, the wholly good towards which the human spirit aspires. It is about totality and eternal continuity, union as well as containment and wholeness. There are no divisions. Celestial spheres. These souls use their tails for movement, which also correlates them to sperm, the giver of life!

Right at this moment I have just started working on a new series of work 'Landscape and Seascape Orbs' and 'Love' - So watch this space! 

I also guide individuals (whether they are already an established artist or just beginning to paint or sculpt) to tap into their own creativity; guiding them on a journey to full self exploration and expression.  If you find that you don't know where to start, or where to go next, I can help you!  I am especially good at helping individuals increase their confidence, motivation and self-esteem.  

Have a look at my work and share the visions of art as a therapeutic healing and self-exploration tool. People find that my paintings are an enjoyable adventure. There is no single way to view them, everyone tends to see what they need to see in the moment they experience the adventure, and this can lead to very interesting and often healing experiences.

I will accept commissions of many shapes and forms from your family pet to your inner mind expressed on the canvas!  Please contact me directly to discuss what you have in mind.



Based in rural Somerset in the UK, I (also known as Liz) am active member of the Visionary Arts Community, am a published author and a practicing Intuitive Soul Worker.  I was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil and have also lived in Uraguay, London, Saudi Arabia, Surrey and Hampshire.

I took a Foundation Course and studied photography at the West Surrey College of Art and Design in the late 1980’s. Almost entirely self taught however, in painting and sculpting, professionally I have been selling my work worldwide since 1999; although it has always played a major part in my life. I has been featured regularly in Glastonbury for the past few years and exhibits in London. I am currently planning showings in Europe and America.

I have run performance workshops for young people throughout Somerset and Devon as well as regularly facilitating educational workshops and galleries for regional artists.

My work is an expression of my sense of 'purpose'; and the purpose is best acknowledged in my ability to help others to release their 'fear base' in order to open one's heart to Universal Love. Here we are reminded that we are collectively 'One' and in being unified we are connected on a multitude of levels.
