WHO IS LIELA?
Hi! That's me! Nice to meet you!
I was raised in beautiful mountains of Eastern Pennsylvania. I graduated from Tyler School of Art & Architecture in 2020 with a BFA in Ceramics. I have had the incredible opportunity to travel to all different corners of the world! Currently, I am living in Oklahoma City. When I'm not in the studio, you can find me lifting, hanging out with my dogs and cat, or outside hiking and exploring.
​​
​My work is a reflection on the endless era of childhood, where we would play outside for hours, waiting to have real lives of our own and wishing growing up upon ourselves. I work with mixed media, mainly focusing in ceramics. My work revolves around seeing the world through the eyes of wonder and the slightly panicked undercurrent of running out of time. I aim to take the viewer back to their less complicated days and evoke a strong emotional reaction. My work vacillates between silly and whimsical, and is an invitation to join me in the Land of Makebelieve.
