HELLO!

I'm Lellie. I'm the artist behind Lelliefish. You might be wondering about the origins of the name "Lelliefish",  well simply put, Lellie is my nickname and...I love fish. Goldfish specifically! So that's where the name comes from.

I'm an Australian based artist, hailing from Perth Western Australia. I've been creating since I could hold a pencil, like many creatives. I began to take my art and craft more seriously around 2015. I used to sell my work, I had an online store, held a few in-person stalls and did the odd commission. Although, these days I prefer to  create for the love it and expression of self. I find  adding a commercial element to my creativity to be too much pressure and it takes away  the connection for me personally.

Being creative is a huge part of who I am as a person.  I'd feel stumped if I couldn't  make things  on  a regular basis. When I was a toddler my mother would share her canvas's  with me when she made art   and I think it was her encouragement, as well as some others in my family at the time, that help me grow into the art and craft loving person I am today.
