Hi, friend! I’m Lydia Balash and I’m a contemporary artist living in Louisville, KY with my husband and our two cats.

I believe the things we bring into our homes should help us feel grounded. After moving many times, I’ve learned how important it is to make each new place feel like “us.” That sense of familiarity is what I try to capture in my work, often pulling from everyday moments and translating them through color and slow, layered mark‑making.
