Painter and textile designer Lena Pillico painted landscapes, street scenes and portraiture, as well as decorative designs featuring both figurative and abstract motifs. She exhibited extensively with the Women's International Art Club (WIAC) and was also one of the first women to exhibit with the Seven and Five Society (1923–27). Contemporary reviewers admired her modern, decorative designs and 'hot-coloured exuberant fantasies', such as this one - a design for a scarf.
