ABOUT THE ARTIST

Artist Bio

Lucy is an artist based in Maldon, Essex and lives with her husband and 2 daughters.

After leaving school with only an AS level in Art she continued her art practice in her spare time. In her twenties she starting selling her paintings and taking commissions and even had a stall for a short time at Spitalfields Market in London.  Then she took a break from art to raise her daughters. Ten years later just before her 40th birthday Lucy picked up her paint brushes again with no intention to stop this time and has been pursuing her art ever since.

 

Artist Statement

My paintings focus on the things I love to do in this life & how they make me feel.  Like the heartbreak you can feel when reading a book, the shivers you get when you hear a certain song or the joy of watching your kids play.  I've always been fascinated with the power that books, film and music have and how they can evoke so many different emotions.  Its an ongoing quest of mine to capture this in my paintings.

I paint mainly with acrylics in a realism style which I think helps to tell the stories of those moments. 

My preferred subjects are people and books which have always been a big inspiration. For me they offer an escape from this ever changing and confusing, tech obsessed world. I hope that through my art I can offer that moment of escapism.

​I would love nothing more than to know I've connected with people through my art by helping them find that moment of escapism and to have them enjoy my work in their homes.

I currently offer original paintings with plans to sell prints in the near future.  I also love to do commissions so please don't hesitate to get in touch with your commission ideas by clicking the button below.
