Does our human relationship to nature always have a negative impact? Or can we collaborate with nature instead in an intimate, beneficial way through artistic practices? These are the questions Lilly aims to explore within her artworks by choosing mediums that are soft and delicate in nature, and require Lilly, as the artist, to have dialogue with the piece itself. She utilizes colored charcoal, graphite, oil pastels, watercolors, and inks on paper and canvas to highlight nature's dream-like whimsy when depicting animals, and/or flora and fauna. One of the most common subjects within her works are horses, portraying a "gentle-giant" theme, strength, and scale. This results in a deeply connective, and childlike wonder of nature not only between her and the piece, but with viewers as well.
