“My paintings play with the idea of physical & emotional landscapes as one. A meeting point between worlds, the path of transcendence.”

We Love…
Lucy’s works are a vibrant expression of life. The way in which she explores colour and texture brings joy and intrigue to her paintings, allowing the viewer to find their own connections and insights into the pieces, resulting in deeply personal relationships with the works. They are the very special sort of artwork that touches your heart each time you view it and reminds you of why it drew you in. ARTFORM.

“This painting relates to themes of endings and beginnings - the process of letting go but at the same time, the promise of something new. I believe that art is a bridge between personal and the universal human experience - of love, loss, and the resilience that emerges”

Lucy is a full-time artist based in Snells Beach
Her paintings trace the quiet meeting point between outer landscapes and inner worlds. Her work moves gently between memory and emotion, shaping spaces that feel both rooted and dreamlike. Drawn to the subtle language of colour, she explores how certain hues can stir something deep - colour becomes a kind of map, guiding us through the landscapes we carry within

Feature
Lucy is a full-time Artist based in a quiet seaside village north of Auckland, with her husband & 3 children
She is represented in both Australia & top New Zealand Galleries.
Her pieces combine acrylics & oil pastels to create intuitive abstract pieces with deep undertones, often with velvety forest greens, earthy golds & burnt umber, layered with clay pinks, turquoise & yellow ochre.
The paintings play with the idea of physical & emotional landscapes as one.
She is interested in the way colour balances each other through the composition of forms & expressive marks, in turn, the painting becomes a source of energy to a space, bringing about a sense, feeling or emotion
