Meet our 2025 t shirt artist!! Lily Limonius is a 12-year-old artist from East Hampton, New York. She works in charcoal, watercolor, acrylic, and drawing, creating expressive landscapes, florals, birds, still life, and portraits. Largely self-taught from a young age, Lily now studies with artist Linda Capello. Her work has been exhibited in Southampton and in multiple shows at Ashawagh Hall, and she is the proud recipient of the Joseph LaPorte Award. Lily has also been commissioned to create dog portraits and other custom pieces. Outside the studio, she loves theater and playing tennis.

The fireworks are ON for tonight over 3 Mile Harbor. This year’s show is dedicated to the incredible Meg Payne - a woman whose life touched so many. Wishing you all a safe, fun evening.

This year, The Clamshell Foundation’s annual Fireworks Show over 3 Mile Harbor on July 12 holds special meaning. We are dedicating this spectacular event to the memory of Meghan Payne, an incredible woman whose light touched so many.
Meg was truly one of a kind – a loving mother, wife, devoted friend, passionate teacher, and unwavering supporter of our Foundation. This past year, we faced the heartbreaking loss of Meg to cancer. Despite her battle, she never lost her light, sense of humor, or boundless love for her family, friends, and students.
To honor Meg and her beautiful legacy, we hope you’ll join us in celebrating her life during this year’s fireworks show. We are also rallying to give Meg’s husband and three children the love and support they need during this incredibly difficult time.
We love you, Meg, and miss you endlessly. Let’s come together to remember her, honor her spirit, and celebrate the impact she had on all of us.
