Ecuador packs cloud forest, islands, coast, and rainforest into one small country. Each collection follows the birds of one of them.
"I paint the birds I grew up watching. If a design helps even one person care about them, the painting did its job."
Passionate about nature since childhood, Lilly pours that love into meticulous hand-painted designs, made to help people know Ecuador's extraordinary biodiversity more deeply and care about protecting it.
