Lily Warmenhoven

Artist Lily has a keen eye for the world around her and it was this observation that inspired her latest series of three drawings. In this first piece, Lily captures a poignant moment of our modern lives – a cat trying to get attention from her guardian, who is too engrossed in her phone to notice. The cat longs for a simple gesture of love and affection, a gentle stroke on the head. Through her art, Lily prompts us to consider the impact of technology on our daily lives and the importance of being present in the moment. This drawing is a beautiful reminder to cherish the little things that matter the most. In the second piece of her thought-provoking series, Lily continues to explore the theme of attention in our digital age. Once again, the cat seeks the affection of her guardian, who remains distracted by her phone. But this time, the feline has a mischievous plan up her sleeve. She decides to act out in the hope of finally capturing her guardian's attention. Will her plan succeed? Lily's drawing invites us to reflect on the lengths we go to for connection and the consequences of our digital dependencies. This piece is a beautiful reminder to look up from our screens and appreciate the world around us. The final piece in Lily's series of three drawings packs a powerful punch. After her failed attempts to capture her guardian's attention, the determined cat finally succeeds – but at a great cost. In a dramatic turn of events, the phone falls and shatters into pieces, leaving the human stunned. Lily's artwork challenges us to consider the real-world consequences of our technology habits and the potential trade-offs between our digital lives and our relationships. This piece is a powerful reminder to prioritize the people and moments that truly matter in our lives.
