About
Born in Chicago, raised in New Orleans, Lucy uses bold color and line to pushes the relationship between her figures and their enivornment. Her paintings come from her real life experiences, but stray from strict figuration in order to push what is an “observable quality” of a moment. She finds that within the experince of a visual moment are clues to other subconcious thoughts and experinces.

Lucy: “Often I think about trying to express a tension that exists in physical space, with what is described literally and what is hidden. There is tension in wanting to participate in the world, but also feeling alone and trapped by the limits of our experience. Thereofre, I try to express in my art the hidden things that we want to share. If done with care, something regular can explode with color and shape.”
The material is the main guiding factor in how the creation starts and ends. Therefore, her experience with each medium is different! Although oil is her primary medium, she includes cermaics into her installation of painting work, and she has competed serveral installations and drawing books/graphic novels.
