About the Tutor
Lucy read English & French Literature at Oxford University and then trained as a secondary school teacher in London. After several years of teaching, she changed course and studied Fine Art Painting and Printmaking at the City and Guilds of London Art School in Kennington.
Since then, she has combined art teaching with her own creative practice and lived in the French Alps, Bristol and London. She has exhibited in the UK and internationally. After the birth of her son in 2012, she shifted her focus to illustration so that she could work from the kitchen table at home. Printmaking is still a passion.
