Lucy grew up on a farm in rural Essex which stimulated her interest in nature and wildlife from an early age. Hours spent in the garden and woodlands were perhaps the foundations of an ongoing passion for the natural world and countryside.
Regular visits to the Devon, Cornish and Norfolk coasts further extended this interest to the marine environment, and a collection of fossils and shells ensued. Being an athlete in these early years also sparked a keen interest in human anatomy and her latest designs see the amalgamation of the aforementioned subject matters. Incorporating the subtle curves and lines of the human body amongst the twisting forms of an eroded shell, often plant like in their structure these organic shapes represent for Lucy the ever present influences of our natural environment on the human body, be it both physical and emotional.
Lucy has exhibited widely, notable exhibitions including ‘on form’ at Asthall Manor, Glyndebourne Opera House and Gardens, and Hunnesbostrand in Sweden. She has sold work across the globe and undertaken public commissions including for Hotel Geysir in Iceland next to the iconic natural landmark, and is represented by Messum’s Gallery.
All Lucy’s stone sculptures are made by her in her Oxfordshire studio, and the bronze sculptures are cast by Oxfordshire foundry Lockbund. She has recently acquired some unusual British stone which will be the main focus of her next body of work.
