Born & raised in Manhattan
Choosing love over fear
Having colors to guide
Bringing forth passion, movement,
peace & calmness
All with heart
From my day dreams
Into my reality
For you to witness & see
What is in my mind & heart
Will be forever
Full of color & delight
Inspired by others
Inspired by nature
Inspired from deep within
What moves me to paint
Changes organically
Connecting to nature
One platform at a time

Lily Fertik is a contemporary expressionist born and raised in New York City, now bringing color, movement, and heart to the community of Ridgefield, CT. Coming from a long line of artists and collectors, she studied commercial art before following her first love — Claude Monet — into a life of painting.
Finding beauty in the space between through abstract painting and mixed media she transposes emotional experience into visual form, creating a flow where each piece speaks to the next. Her work offers expansive color and contrast while grounding the viewer in something calm and elemental.
Lily works intuitively, from trained instincts, pushing past limitations toward freedom. Her paintings are held in galleries as well as private collections throughout the country.
