Lizzie Keenan is a self-taught watercolor painter, travel enthusiast, and lover of all things related to llamas. She is the artist behind @originalizzie on Instagram and Etsy.

A born and bred westcoaster, Lizzie currently resides in the land of a thousand different coffee roasts and “put a bird on it.” Yes, that’s right, she lives in Portland, Oregon. In between waterfall hikes, alpaca yoga (it’s a thing), and kombucha tastings, she spends her free time putting brush to water to paper to create colorful and joyful art. While her paintings originate from her tiny apartment living room, their inspiration is derived from nature, animals, and her travels both near and far.
