Hello, I’m Lucy, an abstract artist on the west coast of Ireland, tucked between Atlantic weather and fields that never quite sit still. Most days I’m chasing that in‑between feeling, the way light hits a wet road, or how a hedge dissolves into colour when you’re not looking straight at it.
I work mostly in acrylic on canvas, building up thin, transparent layers and scraping parts back so older marks re‑appear. It ends up a bit like a controlled car crash of colour and texture: countryside greens, stormy blues, wildflower pinks, all arguing and then somehow settling down together.
I originally studied graphic, product and furniture design, so composition and form are always in the back of my mind, even when the painting looks wild on the surface. I’m self‑taught as a painter in the practical sense, a lot of quiet trial and error, a lot of “what happens if I do this?” and being willing to live with the mess until it turns into something that feels honest.
