Lucy graduated with a First from UWE Bristol in 2005 and after being spotted by Steph at her Graduation Show she joined the Artworks through the Startworks programme.
Lucy's work is unique, in the short time she has been with the Agency she has managed to stay true to her style whilst developing an incredible diversity, which has meant that she has been able to work extensively across all areas of illustration.
As she wished Lucy has done many many book jackets and is proving to be more in demand with every cover she does! Here are some examples of her Delightful jackets for both Quercus and Weidenfeld & Nicolson.

Having experimented with screen-printing, linocut, enamel and bookmaking, Lucy now uses painting, collage, print and pen & ink drawing which she scans separately and assembles in Photoshop.
Her colour pallet is muted and is influenced by 1950's prints, the Cubist's Papier Colles and the Devon country and seaside where she grew up. This gives her images a wonderful atmosphere. Other inspiration comes from a wide range of sources including Japanese woodcut, early lithography, folk music, the collages of Schwitters and Joseph Cornell and railway posters.

Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia, USA, the restored 18th century capital of Colonial America have called on Lucy to produce some beautiful illustrations for their Ad campaign. The ads have appeared in several US publications, including the New York Times and the Washington Post.
Lucy also gave last years worldwide Starbucks Christmas campaign a taste of how she can also work in a very contemporary way this was how there were seen by New Yorkers. We can't wait to see what she does next!
