About the Artist

Lia Simone is a world travelling artist originally from a small, rural town in Blairstown, NJ.

She grew up on a farm with her family where she was continually inspired by the magic of nature and her own imagination.

Because of her childhood in a rural area, Lia felt that she didn't have a lot of socialization as a child and young adult, and so she developed her art skills as a means of self expression for all the things that she was not able to convey through verbal conversation.

Lia studied drawing, painting and sculpture at the State University of New York at New Paltz and graduated in 2009.  During this time she developed an interest in spirituality, consciousness and energetic realms that exist beyond the visibility of the human eye.  She attempts to bridge the realms of the visible and the unseen through her bright vivid colors and surreal imagery.

Lia has studied painting with a number of additional mentors and instructors who have helped her to develop her own unique style that is continually evolving over time.

Lia has been travelling the world for over 5 years and uses her travel experiences to further inspire her artwork.

"My art is always evolving as a compliment to my life experiences.  As I grow and change, so do my perspectives of reality, and art is one of the most vibrant expressions of those perspectives."
