The Artist Behind the Canvas
About Me
The Artist Behind the Canvas
My History
Art has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a family full of creative minds, I was encouraged to express myself through art from an early age. My grandmother and father, both strong advocates for creative exploration, helped shape art into a cornerstone of my personal growth. Over the years, I've explored many paths — pottery, painting, drawing, sewing — and found joy in each.
Today, I primarily focus on acrylic work on canvas. Nature is my greatest muse, and I'm especially drawn to subjects like plants, animals, and organic forms. These natural elements not only inspire my work — they offer me peace and perspective.
"Creating art serves two powerful roles for me: it's both a form of self-expression and a therapeutic outlet. I often find that my answers come to me while I'm at the easel."
— Lily Savage
My Process
I love working with acrylic paint on canvas and enjoy experimenting with different tools to create unique textures and patterns. From brushes to everyday objects, I'm always exploring new ways to bring a piece to life.
Though acrylic is my go-to medium, I often incorporate other types of paint to achieve the look and feel I'm going for. Every piece is a process of discovery — I rarely know exactly where it will end up when I begin.
Beyond the Canvas
I'm a teacher! I love sharing my passion for science, math, and engineering with curious minds every day.
I've built a versatile portfolio across commercial and editorial work, with campaigns from Texas to Germany and the UK. I've been signed with four agencies, including past representation in Los Angeles and London.
I'm a nature lover and plant enthusiast — tending my garden is one of my favorite hobbies, and I love teaching about gardening as an art form in itself.
