Green Thumb

"Green Thumb" - 41x41cm framed in Australian Oak

Rock pools have their own current, a small, gentle, a little bit cheeky. This one's built from long, light strokes that lap and pool the way water does when it's just messing around at low tide. Bright, green, and a little bit playful. The kind of piece that makes a room feel like it's had its shoes off all day.

Lucy creates abstract works that explore the dynamic relationships between movement, texture, and colour. Her medium of choice is acrylic paints on canvas, where she uses bold, bright colours and energetic strokes to convey a sense of movement through her paintings. Lucy uses built up paint to create texture, which shifts shadows throughout the day as the light changes, creating a constantly evolving experience for the viewer.
Drawing from her background as a maritime engineer, Lucy's understanding of hydrodynamics and weather systems deeply informs the fluidity and motion in her work. The ever-changing landscapes of Tasmania, particularly the mountainous terrain and patterns found when bushwalking, are also a significant source of inspiration for Lucy. These are reflected in the layers of her paintings, as she builds up many layers of paint to create a sense of motion and flow that invites the eye to move across the canvas.
