helloiamlydia
Kia ora, I am Lydia, a Derry Girl (Northern Ireland) living in Ōtautahi, Aotearoa.
Creator, dreamer, adventurer, cat mom, dog mom, painter, maker, music lover...the list is honestly endless. I enjoy anything from sitting down with a cuppa tea andsketchbook, to packing my bags and heading off to travel the world somewhere.
This is a website, full of my passions, interest, and my creations, whether that be events, art or commissioned works.
My work is fun, experimental, colourful, and more ever-changing. Gotta keep things interesting right?
Always up for collaborating, whether that be with art and illustration or events...or both.
Get in touch, let grab a coffee, or gin and put a party together!
