Lily Paine is a visual artist and poet based in Glasgow. She is the recipient of the London Writers Award (2018) and of the Dawson Murray Award (2024) from The Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour. Lily’s recent solo exhibition ‘Vivacious Creatures’ at Nicolls Gallery in Glasgow, presented drawings of reinvented and reimagined “Greek” goddesses. Her artwork is often imaginative, with people and places appearing spontaneously and organically onto the paper. She weaves text into her drawings, which include poetic captions and titles. As well as drawing and painting she is interested in creating tactile and functional artworks such as board games, playing cards, wrapping paper and t-shirts. Instagram: @painepoetry
