behind the sharp teeth

Hey I'm Lia,  I’m a self taught artist and photographer, born and raised in New York and later  in Delaware. Moving to a slower life at thirteen was a shock for me. Definitely an adjustment. While New York gave me my love for color, vibrancy, fashion, and visual expression, Delaware introduced me to quiet, reflection, and space to grow. Both places deeply define who I am and how I create.

Art has always been my foundation. Outside of high school art classes, everything I know is self taught. I am an artist by passion and by the nonnegotiable need to create, and photography became another language for that expression.

I found my way behind the camera through the light I saw in the people close to me and my desire to capture them. Working with my love for composition, developed through art, allows me to capture moments filled with intimacy and expression, while also playing on the performance of it all. I knew I loved being behind the camera. The same flow state I felt when I drew existed behind the camera. That was lightning in a bottle for me. When one medium feels heavy, the other carries me forward. Its coexistence is priceless.

As a photographer, my priority is communication and trust. My job is to elevate your vision and tell your story, whether it’s for your birthday, family, or business.

As an artist, I’m drawn to the feminine and its emotional depth. My work often explores those unspoken feelings through color, symbols, and texture.

I am a multidisciplinary creator working across digital art, several traditional mediums, and photography. Inspired by art, anime, music, and video games, the building blocks of my passion as a child, I strive to continue working within each industry through visual storytelling.

Living in Delaware, a place with fewer built in creative spaces than New York, has fueled my desire to build community. Beginning in 2026, I plan to host a recurring art club where creatives can gather, create together, and connect.

At the core of everything I do, I am simply an artist, always observing and always creating with intention. I hope to serve through collaboration and bring your vision to life.
