A FAMILY PASSION

The Lilypad Fine Art story began around 40 years ago, when Sonja’s Dad, Eddie, set up his own business as a local picture framer and art gallery owner.

His business was a huge success. He became a Fine Art Trade Guild Commended Framer and was a Runner up in many framing competitions. His passion for framing had him writing articles in trade magazines. He and Jenny, his wife were highly regarded in the Leicestershire and Northamptonshire area for their expertise and passion for art.

Following his retirement in 2012, he and Sonja began to share the picture framing passion. In 2021, Sonja set up in business on her own, working from a workshop in her garden. From there on in, Lilypad Fine Arts has grown in popularity amongst the local community and we are proud to serve each and every customer with the same passionate approach as her Dad.

Earlier this year, Sonja’s partner, Phil joined Lilypad and they continue to expand their growing business.

They now serve artists and photographers with a bespoke scanning and printing service, creating Limited Edition prints on to top quality papers, printing art on to canvases and reproducing photographer’s artwork on to photographic paper.

In addition, we supply artists with a Drop Shipping service. The aim is to give artists the time and space to do what they do so well - create art, whilst we do the work of printing, framing, packaging and sending the finished products at within 48 hours of a customer’s order.

It is safe to say that the Lilypad Fine Arts family live and breathe art and want to share their passion with an ever-expanding audience.
