Lily Seika Jones is a full-time artist/illustrator currently working out of Vancouver, Canada. She spends the majority of her time walking along the marsh, or drinking tea indoors while creating highly detailed, whimsical watercolor paintings. She sources most of her inspiration from her favourite childhood stories and mid-century illustrators, as well as the natural world of the Pacific Northwest. Lily is interested in how myths and fairytales shape our childhood and the world around us, and sees her art-making as an exploration of the significance of these stories as we grow up.

Currently located in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
