- Paper Artist Lia Griffith
- Even as a young girl, Lia Griffith found incredible potential in paper. She made tiny, three-dimensional dolls from tissue and glue, and built elaborate private retreats from cardboard and cellophane. At six, Lia became interested in fashion and created her first dress on the sewing machine, and wore it proudly and fearlessly into church. Since then, she has experimented with various forms of fashion, including costuming plays and designing a full line of children's clothing. With a background in graphic design and art direction, Lia also has experience in book design, branding, retail and marketing.
