My work responds to the joy of nature. In my art I want to capture and evoke fleeting moments of light, colour, space and wonder as I soak up the glorious nature that surrounds me in Norfolk and Suffolk – from my garden, through the verdant bucolic landscape, to our meandering and magical coastline. Sometimes representational, sometimes intuitive, always gestural in drawing or brushstrokes, my paintings and prints explore colour and pattern whilst distilling natural forms and places onto the surface. My paintings are mostly mixed media and my printmaking marries cyanotype and screenprinting. I love to experiment with materials, media and process to express my ideas and capture them to hang in your home, bringing you happy moments of distraction from our frenetic modern world.

Biography
Lucy Perry is a British painter-printmaker with a studio in the heart of rural East Anglia. Her extensive and lively body of work responds to natural forms with painterly and colourful outcomes exploring pattern and place. Whether painting or printmaking Lucy’s primary concerns are colour mixing and mark making. Intuitive responses are created en plein air in the landscape and the garden then developed in the studio. Gesture and layers are key elements in creating Lucy’s work where marks are made to capture form, fleeting moments of light and glorious interpretations of colour and pattern. Lucy has work in private collections in the UK and Europe. She has been a member of 12PM Printmakers and a committee member for Suffolk Open Studios.

Lucy studied History of Art at Sussex University and then a PGCE in Art at Cambridge University. She has been a professional art educator since 1995, teaching in schools but also freelance, running art workshops and masterclasses at venues such as Norfolk School of Gardening and Wingfield Barns.
