Welcome Colette Odya Smith

We are thrilled to announce the newest artist joining the Lily Pad Gallery family: internationally acclaimed pastel master Colette Odya Smith. 

To celebrate, we’re presenting a special pop-up exhibition,

 Colette will be present, and we’d love for you to meet her and experience her extraordinary work in person.

A lifelong Wisconsin native, Colette creates contemporary landscapes that move fluidly between realism and abstraction. Her soft pastels layered over watercolor underpaintings reveal hidden beauty in water, rock, and foliage—inviting us to look closer at the mysteries lying in plain sight. 

Her work has earned over 70 international awards and hangs in collections from Milwaukee to the Ming Gallery Museum of Pastel in Suzhou, China.

Mark your calendar and join us in welcoming this remarkable artist to our gallery.
