Lucy’s work shows an awareness of a world of artists who have gone before her. The bold and vibrant palette, simplified forms and reliance on intuition rather than conventions are all reminiscent of the Fauvists, and her preference for subjective emotions and responses rather than objective realism implies her interest in the Modern Expressionists. Yet the artists she admires are perhaps more kindred spirits than direct influences as her style, palette and quirky humour remains uniquely and recognisably her own.

However her work is categorised it has an immediacy and appeal that has won her considerable acclaim. Yet despite Lucy’s acknowledged status from the Royal Academy, her impressive array of collectors and her success in Mayfair and beyond, her paintings have the broadest possible appeal – her ‘Mottled Milkers’ was recently used on the front cover of ‘Cotswold Homes’ Magazine.
