Originally from the UK, Lucy now lives and works in Berlin as a photoreal illustrator, mural artist and painter. Her illustrations are typified by her ability to portray beauty and drama even in familiar objects, quiet moments and everyday scenes. She finds much of her inspiration in botanicals, the play of light and shadow, and arresting colour palettes.
Having trained as a scenic painter at a prestigious London theatre school, Lucy now creates her artwork both digitally and traditionally. No matter the medium, her work retains her clean, highly-polished finish. Her style ranges from refined pencil drawings highlighted with minimal, bold splashes of colour, to full, richly-coloured paintings. This makes her perfectly suited to projects requiring a luxurious and refined artistic touch.
She has had reoccurring work with clients such as Harper Collins, Penguin Random House, The Times UK, Flemings Mayfair Hotel, french fashion magazine CitizenK, and German magazine Neue Narrative
