Lydia is a painter, illustrator, and surface pattern designer whose work is inspired by the raw beauty and untamed spirit of nature. Based in Surrey, UK, she channels the dramatic, moody landscapes of places like Iceland and The Scottish Isles into her large-scale oil paintings. Her abstract, atmospheric pieces invite the viewer to immerse themselves in the powerful, elemental forces of these wild landscapes, and her work has been collected by clients worldwide, including several royal houses of Saudi Arabia.

In addition to her landscape work, Lydia’s artistic journey spans illustration and design, with a diverse portfolio that includes album artwork, book covers, and notebook designs. Her recent focus is on botanical illustration, where she explores the delicate yet powerful world of plants and flowers through watercolors, printmaking, and digital painting.

Over the past year, Lydia has embraced the world of surface pattern design, blending her botanical motifs with mixed media to create understated and elegant patterns for stationery, throw pillows, and wallpaper.
