Always in Bloom I Print

(All my artworks here are available as prints only. Sold originals are now in private collections. If you are interested in an original that is not sold, please message me to discuss purchase and delivery options outside of the UK. Original artworks are available to UK customers on my website .) “That feeling you get when you breathe in sunlight and fresh air on a spring morning, when you see new shoots emerging lush and brilliant yellow green from the depths of winter, when you delight in jewel coloured flowers gathered into bunches of glorious beauty, when you hold a warm pebble worn smooth by the sea - these are the feelings that inspire me to create. These responses to the joy of nature are what I want to capture and evoke in my work. Sometimes representational, sometimes intuitive, always gestural in drawing or brushstrokes, my paintings and prints explore colour and pattern whilst distilling natural forms and places onto the surface.” Lucy Perry is a British painter-printmaker with a studio in the heart of rural East Anglia. Her extensive and lively body of work responds to natural forms with painterly and colourful outcomes exploring pattern and place. Whether painting or printmaking Lucy's primary concerns are colour mixing and mark making. Intuitive responses are created en plein air in the landscape and the garden then developed in the studio. Gesture and layers are key elements in creating Lucy's work where marks are made to capture form, fleeting moments of light and glorious interpretations of colour and pattern. Lucy has work in private collections in the UK and Europe. That feeling when… …you get lost in the infinity of the sea meeting the sky…. …a radiant bloom lifts your spirits away from the drab day to day up to somewhere soaring… …you’re walking and the sun, dappled by a leafy tree canopy, breaks through and warms your face and cheers your soul… …you walk the garden at twilight and notice new shapes and colours in places you hadn’t noticed before… …racing past spring hedgerows a blur of magenta and chartreuse catches your eye as it arches upwards… …looking up through the blossom, you are lost in clouds of palest pink and fluffy whites hanging from twirly twigs… ...a jug of flowers generously displays glorious colours and delightful textures that happily distract you during a frenetic day...
