Embracing Individual Perception in Art and Literature

Simultaneous to her exploration in the world of acrylics and canvas, Lily has embarked on a complementary journey within the sphere of words.

She has breathed life into her creativity in a new form, manifesting in the creation of two distinctive workbooks.

These works, targeted towards both adults and children, serve as a medium to invite individuals to explore and express their deepest feelings through the beauty of haiku, the magnificence of nature, and the changing rhythm of the seasons.

Lily's venture into literature aims to foster the same sense of individual perception she cherishes in her art, promoting personal interpretation and emotional resonance.
