LUCY SCOTT

About.
Lucy is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice is rooted in a deep connection to the natural environment. She works with stone, chalk, earth and plants gathered from the Suffolk landscape around her, preparing them into pigments to paint and draw with or elements to sculpt.
Her paintings are abstract and gestural, a celebration of mark-making that draws on the textures and processes of the land itself. Her sculptures are minimal in form, influenced by traditional craft and informed by anthropological study.
Central to her practice is a fascination with the passing of time, and with traditional cultures and the relics they leave behind. This sits alongside a curiosity about what lies beneath the surface and a wish to nurture and deepen our connection with nature.
Lucy exhibits regularly. She holds a first class honours Master's degree in Illustration and Book Arts. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is held in private collections. Extensive travel and artist residencies have further shaped her approach to materials and place.
