Hi! My name is Monique Lily
an international, intuitive artist from the vibrant city of Amsterdam. My artistic journey began in 2009 with a simple goal: to make my little girl happy through face painting. As she grew, so did my love for art and makeup, transforming my world and broadening my perspective on life itself.
Specializing in vibrant eye designs, I taught my first class in 2011 and further honed my skills by graduating from Dik Peeters Make-up School in 2012, focusing on Beauty Make-up and Hair Styling. I then ventured into Body Painting and Photography, making significant strides and becoming known for my distinctive free-flowing ‘Mystic’ lines. My creations come from the heart, aiming to create art that not only appeals to the eye but speaks to the soul.
I am deeply passionate about teaching
I am deeply passionate about teaching and find immense joy in seeing the spark of creativity in others that I feel so deeply within myself. It is an honor to be part of someone's artistic journey and to witness their growth and discovery.
Throughout my career, I have taught in The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, Germany, Switzerland, and the USA, sharing my knowledge at renowned conventions like the East Coast Convention, FPBA, Kapital Kidvention, and FABAIC. I have also conducted classes at ColorVention in Tel Aviv, Israel, and have been an instructor at the World Body Paint Academy in Austria.
Beyond teaching, I actively provide demonstrations and product information about beauty make-up, face and body painting, and special effects (SFX) for MEHRON in Europe. From 2014 to 2019, I was honored to be part of the international team of painters at the Great Texas State Fair in Dallas, Texas.
In addition to make-up and teaching, I have a deep passion for photography, capturing and editing all my work myself. My love for art extends to creating abstract pieces on canvases, drawings, and even my intuitive (Oracle/angel) card deck in 2022. I am now working on an Inspiration Card Deck for Face Painters! This card deck is an extension of my passion for inspiring others to discover their authentic creative flow and empowering others on their creative journey.
Everything I do comes from the heart, combining my passion for arts and teaching with my spiritual path. I create intuitive, energetic, and healing art. As a Reiki practitioner and Intuitive Color Frequency Healer, I feel it is my life purpose to bring more love, light, and color into the world.
I offer several face and body art classes and programs, live and online, as well as intuitive creative programs and one-on-one sessions, along with free online monthly meditations and live jams. My passion goes beyond personal artistry; I'm devoted to inspiring others to discover their authentic flow because I've experienced firsthand how liberating and empowering that can be.
