Artist
Lily Snowden-Fine
Lily Snowden-Fine is a British/Canadian painter working with oils, acrylics, oil pastel and charcoal. She earned a Bachelor of Design from Ontario College of Art and Design University in 2019, and graduated from The Drawing Year at The Royal Drawing School in 2023.
Her work melds personal experience with the mystery of found photographs in order to condense time and play with an atemporal quality within her images. Using ambiguous yet evocative symbolism inspired by relics and antique objects, she explores how our belongings become imbued with meaning and the significance of what is preserved by painting.
She says: "A portrait is a delicate combination of who someone really is and how I personally see them. Similar to how a face changes from your first impression to close friends, the experience of painting a portrait is getting to know someone. It is the balance of capturing intimate details and the communication of their impression as a whole."

Emblems - An Exhibition by Eryn Lougheed, Lily Snowden-Fine and Sophie Glover
We're delighted to bring you Emblems, a group exhibition by Eryn Lougheed, Lily Snowden-Fine and Sophie Glover held at Lant Street Wine from 23rd to 27th October 2024. Discover the exhibition.
With all three artists working across painting and sculpture, Emblems considers the experience of meaning and memory through objects. Gesturing towards art historical archetypes of still life and tableau, these works bring together ideas of domesticity, ephemerality, and theatricality. Spaces of the domestic are woven into symbolic sites of imagination.
For Emblems, Lily Snowden-Fine's paintings and sculptures form a theatrical world, referencing historical and personal myths.
