Welcome to Little Lyra - art for the whimsical souls of the world.
My name is Emily and I am an artist, based in Reading, Berkshire, servicing worldwide.As a mixed media artist, I enjoy using a vast array of supplies – whatever feels right in the moment and can best express my creative intention. I am a big lover of colour and texture and always strive to be unlimited in both supplies, style and the end result.
Little Lyra is an eclectic mix of quirky, cute, creepy and sensual creations. I adore the female form, fantasy and whimsy, which is reflected in a lot of my work. As a mermaid in a past life, a lot of my art is sea-based or fantasy-based. As an advocate for body image positivity, I paint my female characters with real, beautiful bodies in mind and enjoy showcasing a range of strong, beautiful, fantastical women as a well as my more quirky anthropomorphic range of creations.
One day, I may spend hours delicately painting a sensuous mermaid using watercolours, ink and acrylic and then the next I want to feel the tactility of earthy clay between my fingers and take immense pleasure in sculpting one of my “clayreations” in a folk art style. I like the freedom of being able to put down on paper or bring to life through clay what is swirling around in my mind in the present moment. I cherish the journey and living for now!
My inspiration comes from the beauty of the imagination mixed with the wonderful world around us – colour, curves, dreams and little everyday miracles. A glint of an eye, the flow of a hip meeting a tail, the shine of a unicorn’s horn!
