Biography

Saffronia was mentored by Emma's father, Declan Lion, when he lived in St._Crispian’s. She would take her work to Lapis Lazuli where Declan would give his brutal and honest opinion on her art. He introduced Saffronia to his artist friends and encouraged her painting. During this time she became a friend to the Lion family.[3][4] At one point Declan invited the Duke of Islington to sit for several aspiring artists, including Saffronia. That painting now hangs in the Lapis Lazuli kitchen. [5]

Sometime later her father died, and she inherited the his home in St. Crispian's, Thrush's Victory, an odd house where the second and third floors are built on top on the neighboring house.
