Lily Phillips

Lily Phillips is a contemporary artist whose creative prowess is demonstrated through her intricate paper art. Her fascination with the delicate interplay of light and shadow is at the core of her distinctive style, which involves carefully cutting and layering paper to construct elaborate scenes and patterns that are both tactile and visual. Born in the rolling hills of the Cotswolds, England, Lily’s connection to the nuances of the natural landscape is palpable in her work, with each piece acting as a homage to the subtleties of the organic world.

Her journey as an artist began at a young age, drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of English flora and fauna. Her evolution into paper art was a natural progression from her early days of sketching and painting, seeking a medium that allowed for a deeper exploration of texture and form. Lily’s works are an exercise in patience and precision; each cut is a thoughtful act, and every layer is a deliberate choice to build upon her intricate narratives. Her signature pieces often depict complex networks of leaves, petals, and wildlife, capturing the ephemeral beauty of nature in a play of silhouette and space.
