Lillie Spotts is a Maryland-based portrait and figure artist who creates art they love from things they love. Working within a wide range of mediums and subjects, Lillie is inspired by the power of art to act as a force of unity, change, passion, and expression. Through bold large-scale mixed media self-portraiture, they aim to challenge representations (as well as lack thereof) of women and gender non-conforming people in fine art, pushing the boundaries of comfort in the observer and demanding critical reflection. In contrast, their digital illustrations focus on coziness and whimsy, from soft character designs to humorous doodles. They use their passion for writing to weave fantastical stories and bring their illustrations to life. Lillie is ever-exploring the boundaries of what art is capable of accomplishing and communicating, enamored with all things expressive and driven by a passion to spread love through creativity.
