Lily Nova
LILY NOVA worked as a fashion designer (Nova Designs) in New York City for
many years before moving to California. She has been a vital part of the
Grass Valley Graphics Group from the very beginning. Her works include
colorful still lifes and landscapes in acrylic, pastel and watercolor,
abstract compositions in different media as well as large wall hangings
and textile creations. She has produced sculpture and textile art as well.
"I want to create an atmosphere in my paintings that ignites a certain
familiarity that can’t be explained." Her works often evoke a haunting
feeling of reminiscence and nostalgia.
Nova was recently celebrated in an
exhibit which toured several European cities for over two years and was
the founder of Nova Designs in New York. Her background in high fashion
where she clothed the rich and famous including Mary Wells (one of the
ten-best dressed women in the world), Peter Lawford, and Princess
Christina of Sweden, to name a few, was the prelude to her fascination and
love for art.
