I am a twenty two year old artist from Montreal, Quebec but since 2012 I have lived in North Carolina. From the fall of 2021 to the spring of 2025, I lived in Raleigh where I received a bachelors of Art and Design at North Carolina State University. My time there gave me the opportunity to develop my craft, explore the many branches of design and ultimately commit to a career as a fine artist and business owner. Currently I am based in Charlotte and in August of 2025, Lily Dal Cin Fine Art was born. My two mediums of choice are blue pen and oil paint and my art is inspired by

For as long as I can remember, animals have been apart of my life. Whether it was dogs and cats at home, horses, cows, and donkeys at the farm or encounters with wild species while traveling I have always had them around me. They, along with other passions like nature, architecture and cars have always inspired my paintings and drawings.

While painting had always been on my radar, my love for it grew exponentially my sophomore year of university when I traveled to Florence, Italy to study at the Accademia Italiana. On a daily basis I was surrounded by beautiful art, and talented artists. Following that experience, I felt inspired to perfect my craft and find my own style. I am constantly trying to push my use of color, texture and light to bring my subjects to life.

If you follow along with my social media, you know about the famed 'Sketch of the Day.' This began in the summer of 2025 when I wanted to sketch more and simultaneously share more on social media. These ballpoint pen sketches are hand drawn in my sketchbook and inspired by objects, animals and places that I have photographed in my lifetime. Overtime, these sketches have transformed into patterns, prints and products. I even offer custom sketches to my clients.

Please reach out if you would like a custom painting or sketch. I would love to create one for you. Thank you for supporting me.
