Greetings, my name is Lia. To me, art is the highest form of creation, because I see art as everything, it is creation itself. If we give enough of our attention and true presence to whatever it is we do, and most importantly do it from our heart, not only will it be the most peaceful and joyful way of being, but what we do will effortlessly, naturally be art.

My journey began a long time ago, beyond my conscious memory. But here and now, in this lifetime, the discovery of my deeper purpose began when I learned how to make natural plant dyes. My fascination with natural dyes and how they moved on surfaces illuminated something deep within my being about who I truly was and how things moved within my being. The dyes seemed to speak a language that was very familiar to me, a language of nature, a language of the sacred. While I didn’t think too much about what it was at the time, I knew I was embodying it. This fascination lead me into regularly making things with natural materials of all kinds, looking into nature, into myself. I would observe the thoughtful designs and eternal life force that was at the foundation of their creation, and in that way, I began re-learning the language of nature that was already so deeply ingrained in my being.

My work has evolved from a more traditional art practice, into one that heals and renews through silence, nature, and the self. Blending together the use of plants, sounds and music, drawings, natural medicines, and installations, my work intends to provide release and space from increased mental activity of our current world, and into one of peace and balance.
