About Our Artist

Our Book Fair Logo and Custom Art is painted by SLDS Mom, Jackie Lakani owner of Lily & Rose Studio!

Lily Rose Studio

Jacqueline is a self taught artist. She began her artist venture with calligraphy while planning her wedding in 2015. After five years creating bespoke pieces for brides all over the country, she began cultivating her skills in watercolor & acrylic mediums.

Jacqueline’s professional background is in corporate retail. During her career in the buying office she had the opportunity to work with national brands in Men’s, Baby, and Kid’s Apparel. She also collaborated with global manufacturers in the Home & Gift Categories to curate assortments for a national department store chain. In 2020 the company she worked for filed for bankruptcy, and she placed more focus on creating original art pieces for clients.

She now operates Lily & Rose Studio full time while raising her daughter, Lily Rose, the Studio’s namesake. Both mother and daughter share the middle name Rose, and it has been a family name for generations. She draws inspiration from a life-long love of color, whimsy, & Jane Austen novels as well as the charm of The Heights in Houston, TX where she lives with her husband, daughter, and Aussiedoodle.
