I’m an illustrator from Steamboat Springs, Colorado, and my work captures the whimsy of everyday life. I have a passion for character design and visual storytelling, and I love creating expressive worlds inspired by meaningful, human moments.

My name is Lilly Patterson, and I am an illustrator with a love for storytelling through character and design.

I grew up in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, and earned my Bachelor of Arts from the University of Colorado Boulder. I am now pursuing my Master of Fine Arts in Illustration at SCAD Atlanta, where I continue to develop my skills in concept art, character design, and visual development.

My artistic style reflects a whimsical perspective on everyday life, inspired by subtle, quiet moments and the connections I find in the world around me. I am constantly drawn to the simplest things, strange insects, shifting light, fleeting details, anything to make me stop and look closer.

My illustrations have been featured by Minds in Motion for mental health awareness campaigns and recognized by the University of Colorado Boulder Student Arts Program.
