Happy holidays from Lily Koto Studios! I have some exciting news for you.

All available works are marked as “available” in each title.

I <3 Sumi Ink so much. Gorgeous material! The blackest of blacks.
My essay on hope and painting are now up on Edelman PR’s blog along with the other winners in their national storytelling contest, Your Storied Future. So exciting and I am very honored that they selected my work to showcase.
Exciting news: I found out yesterday I would have one of my paintings featured next Spring in the New Britain Museum of American Art’s Spring Auction. Extremely excited to have the opportunity to hang there again. Last year it truly was a dream come true to walk into their museum and see my piece hanging on their walls. They have a wonderful collection of works, and everyone I have met and talked to in connection with the institution has been absolutely lovely. Very honored and grateful to have this opportunity.
Hi friends, thank you all for your support.I just opened up my studio for the public during our MFA Open Studios at the New York Academy of Art, and things went very well. Lots of exciting news on the horizon. I am so grateful to know so many wonderful, supportive people, so once again, THANK YOU ALL! <3
