Lucy, a Cornish Artist studied at the Falmouth College of Art where she gained a BA (Hons) in Studio Ceramics in 2001, having completed a Foundation Course in Art and Design at Chelsea College of Art, London.
For several years she worked within this discipline producing hand built stoneware vessels. The contrasting bands of textures and colours, evocative of the Cornish landscape, were the most predominant features within her work and appeared more important to Lucy than form or function. Trading clay for canvas she began to explore a new rhythm of working through painting and drawing, which since, has become a preferred medium in which to work.
Concentrating on landscapes and seascapes, Lucy uses acrylics, oils and oil pastels, building up layers to create texture, then scratching and mark making the canvas surface, abstracting the scene until a satisfactory mood emerges through the paint.
Having lived near the sea for most of her life, sensitivity to the environment is evident in Lucy’s paintings. Her affection for the Cornish coast continues to inspire and motivate her as she meets the challenges of painting a changing, evolving Cornwall.
