Lili Floyd grew up in the rural Midwest and knew from age five that she wanted to be an artist. At 18 she moved to Denver to attend the Art Institute of Colorado where she studied graphic design. She also took still life and figure drawing, multimedia painting classes, and print-making workshops. Her passion for creating and learning increases with every painting. Lili wanted the mask to be uplifting and positive, so she chose the song "Soar" by Christina Aguilera as her theme. Says Lili, "Music and art can be so healing and can help take one's mind to a better place. I hope this will bring that sensation to whoever takes this home."
