Meet this month’s doer Meet this month's maker

Lucy started focusing on her art practice back in 2016. She was creating abstract acrylic paintings which through experimentation she began manipulating digitally so that they began evolving into digital art. Having her artwork featured on a Biopak Coffee Cup for their Artist Series initiative is an achievement she is very proud of. Her design is symbolic of South Australia - “the beautiful state I am lucky to call home. It pays homage but also brings awareness and preservation of South Australian flora and fauna.”

Lucy prides herself on providing creative services to her local community in an authentic and dynamic way. She loves using her skills and self-expression for her creative work, which she says empowers her a lot. Being super inspired by creative women in her life who were already making moves in the art and design industries, motivated her to get serious and involved.

“My aunty in particular, a very creative woman, helped me evolve as an artist allowing me to collaborate with her on a SALA exhibition in 2018. This really spurred me into the creativity that followed. Prior to that, I had explored a fashion design TAFE course followed by a graphic design one, and then a Bachelor of Design. Being friends with other people heavily into design also helped me get and stay inspired.”

“I’m still finding my place and my voice in the creative spaces I am a part of, but there is so much to like. Every piece of art or design output I have created comes from a very real and original place. I take so much pride in expressing myself and creating with intuition.”
