Artist Bio

Lucy has lived and worked as an Artist and Art teacher in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire and Bristol area for the last 25 years. Before this she lived in the South East of England. 

Now, is settled and living in The South Hams area.

Born in Guildford, Lucy moved with her family to the U.S.A., Cambridge, North Wales and The Wirral returning to Guildford in 1979. Lucy completed her B.A. (Hons) Degree in Creative Arts at Trent Polytechnic, Nottingham in 1983 and returned to London.

After travelling in New Zealand, Australia and south East Asia, Lucy completed her Art and Design PGCE at Brighton Polytechnic in 1989.

Her work has been inspired by her travels and places she has lived - areas such as Barcelona and the beautiful volcanic Catalan mountains, Lanzarote, Australia, The Forest of Dean, Devon, Wales and The Wirral and now very much by The South Hams area in Devon with its  beautiful rolling countryside, wildlife, estuaries and coast.

Her style has grown and evolved to a mix of realism, expressionism and impressionism using water colour, acrylics, oils, collage and emulsion.

She works from her own collections of sketches and photographs where her final works may be a composite or realistic version based on reality, imagination and memories. 

Exhibited in Olot - Catalonia, Barcelona, Bristol and Newent. More recently Instagram has been a platform to show her new works.
