This exhibit brings together a selection of Lucy’s most recent work, much of which was specifically inspired by her love of music. Lucy is always listening to music while she paints, and the music has a direct effect on the composition, structure and mood of each of her works. Lucy has an extremely eclectic taste in music. She has always felt that music and painting are the closest art forms, because the structures that lace together musical compositions and paintings are essentially there to enhance an emotional effect for the audience. Once we have heard music or seen a painting, we can carry it in our minds forever.

About the Artist

Lucy is almost exclusively a figure painter; and although some of her works are true self-portraits, many have evolved to be a psychological exposition of an inner moment. She studied classical voice and piano. Like music, Lucy’s work conveys an emotional expression rather than a didactic statement, with the emotional quality expressed through colour, line and form. Drawing is the creative foundation for all of Lucy’s work. She draws constantly in ink on paper. These drawings often evolve into larger watercolour or oil paintings. Lucy values the original drawings as works of art in themselves and does not think of them as preliminary studies. She also has a longstanding interest in myths and mythology.
