After years of painting, she has turned her talent to the creation of Jewelry. Lilly's world travels have resulted in cross-cultural influences with Africa playing a major role. Her designs are geometric and simple yet filled with expression and power. Each Lilly piece is individually handmade at her studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Since her pieces are handmade, only a limited number of each piece is produced, making every piece unique and one of a kind.
