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, such as; pottery, painting, drawing, and sewing. I've 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, but also 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
My primary medium is acrylic on canvas. Within my portfolio, you will see a variety of pieces and styles, many of which follow a similar subject theme: nature, mountains, and landscapes.
My art is born from my own imagination, but can sometimes take inspiration from outside sources. As all great art does, our work often inspires others. Growing up in the Colorado mountains, my most dominant subject has always been organic mountain ranges, either fictional and experimental, or based on similar forms of real mountain ranges.
The same can be said about my other subjects. From flower fields, to water scenes, to planetary bodies & systems, there is beauty to be seen in all forms of life and nature. I am fascinated with the natural world around me, and do my best to capture my visions and love for the world in my art.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about my work and its roots (no pun intended), and I hope you enjoy my portfolio.
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.
