Lydia Parish

My paintings reflect my purpose and responsibility in life which is to stimulate others with beautifully inspiring pieces of artwork. My paintings are predominantly vibrant explorations of color. I aim to create paintings that arouse both senses of seeing beauty in and truly feeling the joy in life through art. I have become increasingly fascinated with the subjects like ancient egypt and expressing it in my work. One of my chosen subjects is the female form and face. I create art that I hope inspires you, serves you, expresses our world and the universe. I paint with love and light.

Thank you for viewing my work! I appreciate you.
