Lillie Spotts is a Maryland-based portrait and figure artist who creates art they love from things they love. They received a B.A. in Studio Art at St. Mary’s College of Maryland with a Minor in Educational Studies.

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.

They specialize in portraiture and figurative artwork, doing pet and people portrait commissions for clients in the community as well as for their own portfolio. Lillie also has a love for character design and illustration, often spending free time working on children’s stories and graphic novels. In addition to fine art, Lillie uses graphic design to create marketing and social media materials for clients, both through an internship with Inkspotts Creative and through other professional channels. From gorgeous pastel portraits of your favorite furry friends to content planning and design for your business’s social media, Spotted Lillies Studio is a one-stop-shop for all your creative needs!
