Lilymay Healy is an artist from Galway in Ireland. She received her Bachelor’s degree in Mathematical Science from the University of Galway in 2023. She then completed a portfolio course in Art and Design in the Galway Technical Institute in 2024 and a Graduate Diploma of Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art in 2025. She will be pursuing a MA in Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art in the coming year.

Lilymay makes work across a variety of media including textile, painting, print, sculpture, writing and installation. She is interested primarily in transforming her experience of nature in order to understand her relationship to her home, herself and her perception of reality.

She incorporates craft techniques such as embroidery and appliqué; these labour intensive processes give her work a temporal dimension and sense of significance to objects. Her work sits between both the abstract and illustrative, both experimental and meticulous, both experience and art object. She often incorporates mathematical and scientific imagery and concepts in her work and is interested in natural phenomena and underlying patterns in nature, infinity and the invisible. 

Her current body of work includes embroidered textile installations that are inspired by the landscape along the shoreline close to her home.
