Lucy is a textile artist whose work explores themes of belonging, identity and connection to place. Raised between England and Ireland, she developed an early awareness of cultural in- betweenness and a search for where and how one feels at home. These experiences continue to shape both her life and her creative practice.

With a background in arts and health and her work as a creative wellbeing facilitator, Lucy is interested in the role of slow, material-based processes in supporting reflection, self- connection and wellbeing. Her practice brings together textile traditions, storytelling and close attention to the natural world as a way of exploring how we form relationships with land and with ourselves.

She works from her home-based studio in Dungarvan, on Waterford’s Copper Coast.
