About the artist

Lily Movahedi is an Iranian born DC-based artist known for her post-modern mixed media paintings that capture feminine mystique with a jovial poise. Her soft, ethereal palette is complemented by the strength of calligraphy and color. She has spent the last 15 years honing her craft and mastering mediums such as oil paint, acrylic, color pencil, charcoal, resin, mixed media, collage, and decoupage. She has taught at workshops in Los Angeles, Tehran, and Washington, DC. Her work is being displayed at numerous galleries and exhibitions in the United States and abroad.

Lily’s style is nuanced by a range of inspiration from Persian modern society, culture, and history through the exploration of modern and classical mediums. She extends her love for art through teaching and interacting with her students.
