Mt Oakleigh

Mount Oakleigh captures the quiet stillness of an early morning along Tasmania’s Overland Track. Soft pinks stretch across the sky, gently lighting the landscape as the day begins to unfold.

Painted in loose, expressive strokes, the work focuses on atmosphere over detail, the hush of the morning air, the calm before movement, and the subtle beauty of light touching the mountain’s form.

There’s a peaceful rhythm to this piece, a moment of pause held in colour and gesture, inviting you to slow down and take it all in.

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.
