Lucy creates multimedia artworks from her studio in Leicester. Lucy has also worked with The British Trust for Ornithology and Leicestershire & Rutland Wildlife Trust to explore the effects of climate change on migratory birds.
She takes inspiration from the colour palette and sounds of the natural world to celebrate the value and beauty of nature. Her work uses field recording and colour-coded mark-making techniques using paint, pastel, spray paint, photography and digital illustration onto paper to produce striking portraits of birds and their songs.

Growing up on the grounds of the University of Leicester, Sir David Attenborough, Britain’s favourite naturalist, remembers his childhood in Leicestershire fondly. He explored the vast fields and streams surrounding Leicester, only a short bike ride from his home, and collected many stones, natural specimens, and fossils to create his own museum, which he still has today.
