Anna finally realized that it’s okay to challenge yourself and explore, and that versatility can be a strength. “Style should not drive the picture; the picture should drive the style.”* Thus, her portfolio is not necessarily unified by one style, but by her ability to visually convey an opinion, a story, a feeling, a text, a piece of music.
Her many interests and love of all kinds of art is evident and she hopes to continue to explore the different avenues the art field has to offer. She currently resides in Pasadena, CA, where she recently graduated from Art Center College of Design with Honors and is currently open to freelance and in-house opportunities.
I’ve been illustrating fashion since the early 90s after graduating from FIT. My love of runway sketching has afforded me opportunities to work with magazines, ad agencies, fashion designers & graphic artists. I specialize in traditional fashion illustration, but with a modern edge & witty hand-lettering. All of my work is done in acrylic paint & black ink on paper.
Lilya’s clients include ELLE, WWD, Timex, Katy Perry, Stila, Sephora, Travel + Leisure, California Closets, among many others. She lives in Brooklyn, NY with her husband and lovably mean chihuahua.
