Professional South West Artist Lucy Young's expressionist paintings capture the essence of the coastal landscape, like the ocean her paintings flow across the canvas with subtle use of opalescent tones.

"I would like people to feel a fresh tranquility when they look at my paintings and put themselves there just for a moment. "

Since graduating from University in London Lucy's reputation has gone from strength to strength with her painting selling in galleries and art shows nationwide. Lucy's paintings have been purchased for use for the Film and TV industry as part of Arthouse collection as well as having several celebrity clients.

Recognised for her clever use of texture and iridescence within her semi-abstract images of Britain's rugged coastline. Her painterly landscapes evoke shifting effects of light over surfaces, in particular stone and sea. The paint is applied in an assured and confident manner with great subtlety and skill often incorporating an added magic of genuine gold leaf.

Inspiration is drawn from dramatic changes within the coastal landscape through out the year, from frosty glistening scenes of Lyme bay to fresh spring mornings in the countryside.

"I am passionate about my surrounding and take full opportunity to walk the stunning British coastal paths all year round with my little dog Delilah. There is nothing more inspirational than seeing the sun come through after a downpour of rain. Like magic the light cascades a rhythmic sparkle across the ground".
