Fine Artist, Illustrator and beaded earring designer from Somerset.

A Little About Me...

My name is Lucy (not iggy!) and I live in Somerset in England. I am a very happy, friendly, bubbly person and I think that it is reflected in my art work, as all art have a very bright and bold feel about them.

My Other Interests...

I absolutely love my music, in particular indie/rock/dance. My favourite musical artists are the Kooks, Kelly Clarkson, the Killers, amongst many others. I love to dance, and am currently learning how to Latin dance!

My Painting Background...

I have been painting ever since I was little. The talent of painting has run through the generations of my family, so I encouraged to make the most of my talent for painting. I studied BTEC National Diploma in Fine Art at Strode College, where I learnt to develop and discover my style.

Portraiture and Inspiration...

As you are probably aware I mainly focus on portraiture. I especially love to paint eyes and hair. A lot of my inspiration comes from Beauty magazines.

Artists That Inspire My Work...

J. W. Waterhouse for his lovely portrait paintings and the detail he put into the clothes. Also Roy Lichtenstein, who gave me the inspiration for my orgainal pop art.

My Favourites...

"Bubblegum Pink" has to be my current favourite painting.
