Lily Greenwood

If you’re looking for something to cheer up a bare wall, beige office space or dreary nook, then look no further. Lily Greenwood paints bright, vibrant canvases that are ready to hang.
A common theme in her work is nature and in particular butterflies. Her artwork combines original painting with mixed media embellishments. Japanese kimono designs are also evident in the colours and pattern.
Commissions are welcomed if you’re looking for something unique and a little bit special.

Lily Greenwood is a local artist based in the awesome Manchester Crafts Centre. Her studio is lovely little haven away from the hustle and bustle of Manchester, and as well as her incredibly beautiful canvasses, she designs and sells tote bags and greetings cards.
Lily Greenwood (real name Liz) has been working and exhibiting as an artist in Manchester for over 4 years, and has gained quite a following, taking up commissions from businesses across the North West. Her paintings are priced £100 upwards, which is not a lot to pay for an original work. She’s a super-​friendly, lovely girl, and she’ll give a lot of time over to chat if you pop in on a quiet day.
As I said before, the studio really is something. Softly lit and furnished with vintage furniture that complements her works, it is obvious from the off that Liz has put a lot of thought into making the studio as lovely as possible, and that she has an eye for what really works in a room.
The art (which can be found at her website) is lovely. Probably more on the girly side, which is alright by me, she paints large vividly coloured canvasses with butterflies and flowers. Some of the most lovely works have a Japanese feel to them, and I sorely wish I could afford her Irises picture!
The MCC is a great place for local artists, and I highly recommend a visit to Lily Greenwood, whether you’re looking to spend a few hundred on a unique piece of art, or a few quid on a lovely card for our mate’s birthday, a trip to Lily Greenwood is support for a fresh young local artist, and is well worth doing if you’re in the NQ.
Liz prefers not to be contacted by phone, but if you email her at
you’ll get a pretty prompt reply.
