As Her husband Paul Himmel

her playground. She would
play around and break the
rules when it came to painting
and to art.

9.  Don’t be afraid to
photograph or paint
something out of your
comfort zone
 Try something new and
break the rules. Art has
no rules to
 That you can take a
seductive photograph
with out showing
everything.
 Push the limit’s
 Do what you love and
know. Don’t do what
other people tell you.

10.  One of my favorite pictures of
Lillian happens to be one of her.
She took this photo of herself
and I just love how happy she is
doing, doing what she loves to
do. She is a stunning woman
who loves taking photo’s and
creating them her own way. She
take’s each Photo and create it
the way she likes it. She plays
around to make it 100% her
own. Each photo she takes may
be so simply but I just love how
strong the black and white
photo’s pop out.
