Lucy is a British artist, living and working in Wiltshire, UK. Lucy works in oil, both en plein air and in the studio, making larger works from her studies. Her paintings capture a fleeting moment and the ever-changing effects of colours and light in nature. Working from life is an immersive experience, the paint is applied thickly with a brush and palette knife, working quickly and energetically to record the scene in front of her. Her works are loose and expressive impressions of her subject, picking out details such as a moon or a twinkling light on the horizon which entices the viewer further, drawing them into the painting and holding their attention.
Having exhibited at the Royal Society of British Artists and the Royal Society of Oil Painters, Lucy's 'mini series' painted on her doorstep during lockdown last year were an unprecedented success and sold before the paint was dry
