“I enjoy the immediacy of working en plein air recording fleeting information as quickly as I can, as the colours change in front of me and my painting changes with them. I use a knife to build layers and enjoy the visceral quality of the paint itself and how it naturally behaves, juxtaposed with picking out details and enhancing parts of the scene that interest me most”

Lucy is a British artist

Living and working in Wiltshire, UK. Having trained originally in portraiture, Lucy felt more of a pull to the landscape around her and taught herself how to paint it; She works in oil, both en plein air and from the studio. Her paintings are a direct response to her environment and she is most inspired by shifting light and colour and the interactions between high skies and wide landscapes. Working directly from life and combining knife and brush marks, Lucy’s work is energetic, vibrant and immersive. She travels extensively and has painted in Italy, Madagascar and Sri Lanka; her future plans include India.

Lucy is Founder of

Art for Charity Collective: a global artist collective raising money for charity. To date, they have raised £300,000 since starting September 2020. Lucy is also honoured to be an Ambassador for NFP A Space Between.
