LILY
Ikebana Artist based in Sydney
Centuries of wisdom, expressed through contemporary practice.
About LILY
Lily is an ikebana artist based in Australia. Trained in the Ohara School of Ikebana in Japan, her practice spans installations, demonstrations, commissions and collaborations.
Rooted in the discipline of traditional ikebana, her work is equally shaped by a sense of freedom — moving beyond convention while remaining grounded in its principles. Responding to material, season and place, she creates work that is distinctly ikebana while open to new forms of expression.
Alongside her artistic practice, Lily brings a background in business and entrepreneurship, informing collaborations across cultural and commercial settings. Her practice is based in Australia and extends internationally through commissions and collaborative projects.
