Hello, I'm Lilya Taylor.

As a neurodivergent and disabled artist​,​ creativity for me is a powerful act of protest​,​ communication and healing. Combining embroidery​,​ photography and mixed media in a unique form​,​ I use my experiences and memories as inspiration to highlight the often-unseen realities of living with neurodivergence and chronic illness. My creative process is deeply personal—each stitch and photograph is packed with symbolism​,​ planned to fine autistic detail and reflects how loud I want to scream at an ableist society. I imagine the camera as my eyes and the thread as my paint​,​ weaving thoughts and visions that were once too much to share. I see strength in vulnerability​,​ power in difference and comfort in rebellion. My hope as an artist is to provide a sense of belonging and comfort to those who walk a similar path and to reflect on the meaning of identity​,​ resilience and the liberation of acceptance.
