Lily Donaldson is a London-based painter and filmmaker working mainly in oil. Her abstract seascapes deal with nostalgia, memory and belonging, holding comfort and unease in balance to examine our ties to home and heritage. She trained at West Suffolk College and Central Saint Martins (BA Fine Art, 2021), is a member of Grafters Collective and the British Art Network, and works from a studio in Kings Cross. Recent exhibitions include the solo show Behave and Other Things at The London Art Bar (September 2026), Skin of the Earth (2026) and Grafters Collective's Home Is Where The Art Is at Hypha Studios (2025). She was a featured artist in Suboart Magazine in December 2025 and took part in the Art Club Collective's group show at Peckham Rye in November 2025.
