Painted Lily's photostream

I love photography and digital collage. My greatest inspirations come from the past... images from classic time periods like antique advertisements, vintage magic and carnival posters, old personal letters and antique photographs. I strive to create immortal images... timeless and touching, pure and poetic. My pieces make me want to live passionately and beautifully in the present, without forgetting the past, and I hope they do the same for you.

My process involves a technique that incorporates both hand pieced and digital collage. My starting images range anywhere from decorative art papers to vintage images such as old valentine's, antique posters, photographs and vintage wallpaper patterns. I shape a section of the original image into a kaleidoscope pattern and then layer it with other vintage ephemera. The result is something that I hope captures the past with a nod to the future of technological art and hand pieced collage.

All prints are available on canvas and, for larger sizes, heavy weight watercolor paper. Each piece is archival and has been sealed to prevent uv damage.
