Lucy is an artist devoted to the practice of illuminated manuscripts, drawing inspiration from the rich symbolism and sacred storytelling of Medieval Europe and the Arthurian legends. She trained at The King's Foundation School of Traditional Arts in London, completing her Master’s degree as an A.G. Leventis Foundation Scholar.
Her work is rooted in traditional methods: grinding mineral and earth pigments by hand, painting on calfskin vellum, and laying 24-carat gold leaf using time-honoured gilding techniques. Through her teaching, Lucy seeks not only to pass on these historic skills, but also to nurture patience, courage and creative confidence in her students.
She lives and works in Nottinghamshire with her partner and their dog, Atticus, balancing an active studio practice with her teaching and mentorship.
