Founded and owned by an independent female artist, Lany Girl is built on a very simple desire: to make original art more shareable, obtainable, and filled with whimsy.
The studio’s work is deeply shaped by a lifelong love for vintage pieces, timeless artistry, and playful romantic details—an influence that guides our current silk collections and leaves endless room for the studio to evolve. Every piece is developed by hand, serving as an open invitation for collectors who believe fine art should be lived in, shared, and enjoyed out in the open air.
P.S. Who is Lany? As a devoted mother of three cats, it was only natural to name the studio after the girl who embodies the absolute most poise, elegance, and whimsy in the house! She can usually be found napping right next to the easel, quietly keeping watch over every wet canvases.
After fifteen years leading people and culture within corporate and creative environments, the founder chose to steer that experience into building this studio from the ground up. As a first-generation daughter of immigrants, Lany Girl represents a shift away from a strict "security" mindset — a career spent alongside deep brand-building teams, now turned toward a lifelong love for vintage pieces and classical painting.
That entrepreneurial spirit was passed down directly from the founder's parents, who built an independent business from scratch. That legacy inspired a drive to create — but it also came with the expectations that so often follow: financial security first, career risk second. Stepping away from corporate structure was a deliberate choice to build a life around art and beauty instead.
Like many who find their thirteen-year-old creative selves reemerging in their thirties, the founder experienced a return to the easel. Having always found a second home wandering the galleries of NYC, this shift sparked a desire to stop rushing past the ordinary and start romanticizing everyday life. Lany Girl was born from that perspective — a deep appreciation for vintage treasures and timeless artistry, paired with a mission to share original oil and watercolor pieces in an obtainable, interactive way.
By translating meticulous brushwork onto premium, fluid silk, the studio takes something as serious as fine art and lets it loose — off the wall, out the door, wrapped around a shoulder on an ordinary Tuesday. Moving fine art off the static wall transforms each piece into a living experience — bridging the prestige of an art gallery with a personal sense of identity, fluid movement, and whimsy.
