Lillie graduated from Moore College of Art in Philadelphia and had a very sucessful 22 year career in the fasion industry as a leading designer of active wear. She was the top tenniswear designer in the US for 5 consecutive years. Lillie chose an early end to her design career to embark on a 7 year cruising adventure with her husband, an avid sailor. While exploring the coasts of the US, Caribbean and Mexico, she renewed her love of painting watercolors, seeing colors and light as few people ever experience. Even while crusing, she continued her studies with recognized watercolor artists in workshops, classes and open painting groups. In 2002 Lille and her husband returned to land in Vero Beach, Florida, where she has become an active member of the local arts community.

"As a Plein Air Painter of the Treasure Coast, I see the colors in our natural surroundings that we often pass by without even noticing.Color and nature are a partnership that drives me to want to capyure the effect of the sun on everyday scenes in ways that elicit the mood of the say".

Lillie has exhibited locally and in Maryland and has sold her art to a number of collectors in the US.
