IMAGE ALCHEMY™
Celebrate Your People.
Share Your Story.
Elevate Your Space.
At Image Alchemy™, I partner with leaders, teams, and individuals to bring your story to life through custom, collaborative artwork and immersive workshops. Together, we create artwork and environments that reflect your values, energize your people, and showcase your unique story.
With over two decades in commercial interiors and a professional fine art practice, I understand how environment shapes experience. By blending design expertise with creative collaboration, I help leaders build spaces that don’t just look inspiring — they make employees feel seen, valued, and proud to belong.

Art That Connects People, Places and Purpose
At Image Alchemy, we work with purpose-driven business owners who genuinely care about their people—leaders who understand that employees are the driving force behind their success. These aren’t leaders who just talk about caring; they actually show it. And they’re ready to invest in meaningful experiences that create connection, belonging, and pride.
They’re looking for creative ways to show employees they’re truly seen, heard, celebrated— not just through words, but through the environment where they spend their days. These companies want their workplace to speak directly to their people, reminding them every day that they matter.
And they want their team to be part of that process. Because people don’t engage with culture when it’s handed down from the top — they engage when they feel they’ve helped create it.
Culture by Design™
Every workplace has a culture—whether it’s intentional or not. The question is: does yours reflect who your people are, or does it leave them feeling invisible?
Through custom artwork and creative workshops, I help businesses uncover how environment drives behavior, why culture must be collaborative, and how art can turn belonging into something visible and lasting.
It Takes More than Pizza to Build Company Culture
Sure, pizza parties are great. So are perks, posters, and personality tests. But what do they say about your people? Your space? Or the culture you want to create?
But let’s be honest—none of those things create a lasting impression. They’re fun for a moment, but the spark fades fast. Simply put - they're forgettable.
Because a strong workplace identity isn’t built in fleeting moments — it’s built in the environment people walk into every day.
And when that environment is uninspired or disconnected, it impacts behavior.
What's Your Story - 2025
Environment Drives Behavior
You can feel it—that quiet disconnection. People show up, but they don’t fully arrive.
They do the work, but the spark is missing. Engagement feels more like a slogan than a lived experience. And it’s not because they don’t care. It’s because they don’t feel connected to the environment around them.
And that disconnection? That disengagement? It’s costing you more than you know.
Gallup reports that disengaged employees cost the global economy over $7 trillion a year in lost productivity. Yes, that’s trillion not million!
Your Space Should Speak for You
You care about your employees. You want them to know they make a difference. But if your environment is speaking a different language, they'll never hear the message.
What is your space really saying? Does it reinforce pride, appreciation, and belonging? Or is it silent—failing to inspire or engage the people inside it?
Research shows that when employees see themselves reflected in their workplace, they show up differently—more energized, more connected, more invested.
But you can't program culture into existence. You have to design for it. You have to invite your people into it.
Absolutely Fabulous - 2025
Culture Should Be Collaborative
The best way to build a shared identity is to create it with your people, not for them.
Because culture doesn’t live in a handbook or a happy hour.
-
It lives in shared experiences.
-
It lives in the art on the walls.
-
It lives in the way a space is arranged.
-
It lives in the energy employees feel the moment they walk through the door.
That’s why I offer interactive workshops alongside custom artwork—so employees don’t just see culture on the walls, they help shape it. These experiences spark creativity, conversation, and connection, turning art into something deeply personal and collaborative.
When people feel seen, they show up differently. Let’s make your walls mirror their pride.
Let Art be the Change
You’re not just a business owner — you’re a visionary. A leader who knows community isn’t built by perks or posters — it’s built by people.
You understand that employees are the driving force behind you success and want an environment that reflects that truth.
But bringing that to life in your space? That’s where it gets tricky.
I get it.
You’ve tried the traditional methods. Browsed catalogs. Hung the motivational posters. Even picked out some “nice” art. But “nice” art and generic statements don't move people. They don't carry their stories. They don't make anyone feel like they belong.
That’s where I come in.
Strike a Pose - 2025
My job isn’t just to create beautiful art—it’s to help you uncover the heartbeat of your story and turn it into something you can see, feel, and connect with every single day. It's transformative.
Because here’s the thing: art is never neutral. It always sends a message about who matters. When it’s generic, people disengage. But when it reflects their values, spirit, and story? They light up. They feel proud. They feel ownership.
Custom, collaborative art doesn’t just decorate a space — it shapes the collective energy that lives inside.

Looks like everyone else

You Didn’t Build an Ordinary Business — So Why Settle for Ordinary Art?
Your people are creative — they have a vision, a voice, a spark.
Through our creative culture-building workshops, we transform your team’s ideas into powerful visual stories that live on your walls and helps build your culture.
That’s why I created Image Alchemy—because art is essential to culture.
Images with Meaning – Community Pride and Ownership
Your head is full of ideas—you want a space that energizes your team and makes them feel truly valued. Imagine walking into a workplace where portraits, passions, and personal stories are woven into the walls. Where every employee sees themselves reflected in the culture they’ve helped create.
Because when the artwork celebrates their stories and contributions, it doesn’t just decorate the walls — it builds pride and ownership in the place where they work.
You want people to walk in and feel: This is special. This is ours.
So how do you make that happen?
-
Wouldn't it be amazing to fill your space with portraits of your team — not just polished headshots, but artwork that celebrates who they truly are?
-
What if you honored your employees by showcasing art of their pets, passions, or purpose — a daily reminder that they matter beyond their job title?
-
How would you feel to see custom artwork fill your walls that creates conversation, connection, and pride?
-
What if your walls told a story worth remembering?
Art Like This Doesn’t Just Decorate — It:
-
Strengthens emotional connection to the workplace
-
Shows your people they matter beyond their job title
-
Builds pride, inclusion and shared ownership
-
Boosts morale, creativity, and productivity
Dottie & Bubbles- Window Gazing - 2025
Custom artwork and workshops make that possible. Together, they don’t just decorate—they strengthen connection, build pride, and remind people every day: This is special. This is ours.
When Intentional, Environment Becomes a Powerful Leadership Tool
“I gave Lydia a simple photo of my two dogs sitting on the couch, looking out the window—one of their favorite spots. What she created from that image completely blew me away. The colors are bold and beautiful, and she managed to turn a quiet everyday moment into something truly special. It feels like a snapshot of their little world, captured in such a meaningful and artistic way. Every time I see it, I feel love. I would absolutely recommend her work to anyone who wants to turn a favorite memory into something lasting.” Alice Smith - Albuquerque, NM
From Conversation to Creation: A Shared Vision, A Lasting Impression.
More Than Custom - It's a Creative Collaboration
With over 20 years in the commercial interiors industry—and a lifelong passion for art—I’ve built my career at the intersection of function and feeling.
That’s why I created Image Alchemy: to reimagine the role of art in the workplace and make identity and purpose something people can see and feel. Because when employees are part of the creative process, art stops being decoration. It becomes a reflection of the story they’re helping to shape.
At Image Alchemy, we don’t just select art—we create it. Together.
I work closely with you and your team to uncover the values, stories, and emotional tone you want your space to embody. Then, through creative culture building workshops, and a collaborative art creation process, I translate that into custom, one-of-a-kind artwork that reflects your people, your purpose, and your place.
This is art with meaning—art that transforms the environment, strengthens team spirit, and reminds people every day that they belong.
I am the one who walked through fire and rose again. I am the one who endured and was reborn. The scars upon me are my initiations, the trials behind me are my medicine. I refuse to be broken, I refuse to be silenced, I refuse to be owned by systems that profit from my pain. I honor my body with health, my spirit with truth, my lineage with courage. I am the bridge between ancestors and the unborn, a warrior, a healer, a survivor, a living prayer. I will not go down without a fight. I rise, and in my rising, my whole lineage rises with me.
Medicine Woman Rising - 2025
Working with Lydia through her Art of Identity™ process was deeply affirming and transformative. She took the time to truly listen — not just to my words, but to the energy and meaning behind them. She asked thoughtful questions and invited me to share symbols, photos, and memories that held power in my story, weaving them together into something that felt both personal and sacred.
Seeing the finished artwork filled me with gratitude and pride. It was like witnessing my story reflected back to me through the lens of strength, beauty, and transformation. Lydia has a gift for translating the soul into imagery — this piece is a visual embodiment of my journey and my power.
Lydia captured not just who I am today, but who I was always meant to become. This piece isn’t just art — it’s my mirror, my medicine, and my reminder that I rose, and my lineage rises with me.
Anyone looking for an artist who can bring your story to life — Lydia Piper is that person.” - Terrie Call, Albuquerque, NM
Art That Makes an Impact
I believe art should do more than decorate a wall — it should make a difference, both within your space and beyond it. That’s why a portion of every sale is donated to a local charity you care about.
And because I stand behind every piece I create, you can feel confident that our collaboration will result in artwork that elevates your environment and speaks directly to your team and clients.
