“That feeling you get when you breathe in sunlight and fresh air on a spring morning, when you see new shoots emerging lush and brilliant yellow green from the depths of winter, when you delight in jewel coloured flowers gathered into bunches of glorious beauty, when you hold a warm pebble worn smooth by the sea - these are the feelings that inspire me to create. These responses to the joy of nature are what I want to capture and evoke in my work. Sometimes representational, sometimes intuitive, always gestural in drawing or brushstrokes, my paintings and prints explore colour and pattern whilst distilling natural forms and places onto the surface.”

Lucy Perry is a British painter-printmaker with a studio in the heart of rural East Anglia. Her extensive and lively body of work responds to natural forms with painterly and colourful outcomes exploring pattern and place. Whether painting or printmaking Lucy's primary concerns are colour mixing and mark making. Intuitive responses are created en plein air in the landscape and the garden then developed in the studio. Gesture and layers are key elements in creating Lucy's work where marks are made to capture form, fleeting moments of light and glorious interpretations of colour and pattern. Lucy has work in private collections in the UK and Europe.
