Lydia McKee (b.1998) is London-born abstract artist. She began painting at a young age and has continued to create art throughout her life. Lydia uses her art as an exploration of self expression, emotion and experience.

 

Lydia thrives on working on a large scale, utilizing the movements of her body to guide the composition of her work and to apply her unique mark-making techniques. Her artistic approach involves painting her larger scale works from a ladder, directly onto canvas, a defining feature of her practice.

 

More often, her artistic vision is shaped by internal emotions, technique and color theory, with the pigments themselves serving as a wellspring of inspiration. The ability for viewers to immerse themselves in her canvases, unveiling hidden details with every gaze, is a hallmark of her artistic style.

​

Lydia is currently working full time from her studio in Los Angeles, California.
