She enrolled in SMU’s Meadow’s School of the Arts in 1990, where she was offered a full scholarship in their Bachelor of Fine Arts Program. She graduated in 1994, moving to Los Angeles, CA. In LA, Lila sold a screen play (Peg & Shirl), wrote a play, provided character voices for animated television shows (the most notable Family Guy), renovated real estate and ran the personal lives of producers, studio heads and CEOs.
Lila is the recipient of a McKnight Fellowship, the Wellesley Book Award and is also a graduate of Breck School. She appeared professionally in regional theatre in both Minneapolis and Los Angeles.
Lila married Dines Francese in 2001 and gave birth to Florence “Fliss” Francese in 2004. In 2006 she and her husband Dines began their design & home staging business OHI HOME, LLC.
A vegetarian, Lila is a loving animal advocate with three dogs, and regularly gives to the Gentle Barn.
Lila has been a long supporter of the arts, beginning her fine art collection in 1995 with the help of her sister Carolyn Glasoe. The two sisters were amazingly close: they traveled together frequently, loved food and eating at great restaurants at home and while traveling, and lived across the street from each other.
After the death of her sister Carolyn, Lila and her brother-in-law Christopher Bailey founded The Carolyn Glasoe Bailey Foundation. This non-profit art charity continues to keep Carolyn’s artistic enthusiasm, fierce generosity and innovative spirit alive throughout the fine art world.
