Hello! 
My name is Lyla, the chaotic mind, aching body and troubled soul behind the art. It is my mission to spread traditions through fresh eyes, cultivate creativity and encourage others (of all economic statuses) to use the arts as a way to divide gaps and find personal belonging. 

My work is done with soft body acrylic on canvas and pen and paper. In a nutshell, my style is contemporary takes on food and cultures and with attention to detail.

Now, the fun part! About me personally. 
Originating from a small, Midwest town surrounded by dairy farms and Swedish and Norwegian/Dutch culture, my childhood consisted of going to art galleries, quilt shows and farmer's markets. 
I am the youngest of a large, dysfunctional family filled with avid world travellers. Additionally, being a double cancer survivor, having profound hearing loss and managing several mental health diagnosis provides creative purpose and a unique story behind the work.
