Artist. Muralist. Entrepreneur.

Hi, I’m Lilly Deal, a Knoxville-based artist and entrepreneur. After graduating high school, I turned my passion for art into a business, and I built a creative practice that reaches beyond the canvas.

My work spans oil painting, commissions, murals, live art, and fine art prints, allowing me to explore different ways of connecting with people.

Why I create.

I believe art can communicate what words cannot. My work explores themes of emotion, beauty, struggle, hope, and redemption, often drawing from personal experiences, faith, people, and the world around me.

My Christian faith is at the heart of both my life and my work. I see creativity as a gift from God, and I want to use that gift to create work that brings light and encourages reflection.

“He is only my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken.” -Pslams 62:6
