Every Purchase Directly Supports The Artist
Lily Formato
Lily Formato works across painting, ceramics, watercolor, and mixed media, bound to no single one. She draws the strange things in front of her without knowing yet what they are about. The meaning arrives later, when the sketchbooks turn out to have been telling a story. She is the founder and director of Formato Fine Arts, and also writes and performs comedy.
