Cotswold Sculpture Park

Lucy d’Auvergne

Lucy has explored other species professionally for over 30 years through filmmaking, academia and art. She has been privileged to work with a diverse range of animals from great apes to otters, and many domestic species.
Her inspiration as a professional artist lies in getting beneath the surface of an animal – understand what makes each one ‘tick’ as a unique being and capturing something of their energy and essence. Regardless of whether it’s a domestic dog or a wild leopard, the individuality – the personality – of each subject is important to her.
Based in rural Devon, she creates limited edition pieces and private commissions by
casting stone or metals and has developed her own unique method of patination using
raw Earth pigments. These give her sculptures a soft, organic feel which echoes the tonal
qualities of fur.
