About Lucy
Since graduating from Chelsea School of Art in 1984 with a BA (hons) in fine art painting I have run art workshops for children, mentored art one to one for all ages, and introduced clay and other three dimensional work activities in a Montessori nursery. I derive great pleasure and inspiration in seeing students' work blossom and witnessing them developing and enjoying their powers of observation. Many are teaching me new things too now.
Prioritising drawing skills, I imbibe my sessions with fun and an infinite variety of approaches using mixed media, including digital media, to inspire and encourage independent ideas and develop each individual's unique style. I offer practical solutions to the challenges we all encounter in our creative processes.
.
I have successfully helped students to put portfolio's together to apply for scholarships, and many have followed successful careers in the arts.

To whom it may concern,
I've known Lucy for more than a year now. She is an artist and used to do gardening in her spare time. Her gardening sessions had primary focus on art e.g. coloring acrylic cloth with natural colors, making lovely beetle houses or apple feeders for birds etc.
During the lockdown, I've attended sketching sessions through video call with her. She comes up with an innovative theme for the session e.g. sketching faces, light and shadow, perspective, including objects in drawing, art from torn out magazines etc.Since the age of 7, Lucy has taught me a variety of artistic skills, widened my knowledge of art by taking me to exhibitions and showing me her own work as well as pushing me to experiment with new mediums, all of which have helped me develop my own artistic style. If it weren't for her constant enthusiasm in the subject my passion for art would not be what it is today!
I have known Lucy for over 25 years. She was my daughter's art tutor and was an inspiring teacher one to one. She always encouraged natural creativity and helped develop the necessary skills. Her manner was friendly and open, she was very positive and communicated well. Without a doubt she was instrumental in helping my daughter become a talented artist in different media, working with a variety of tools.
Lucy is extremely experienced but always respectful of her students be they beginners or advanced. She is totally trustworthy. I consider her to be highly qualified for the role of tutor.
Carol Martin-Sperry Fellow BACP 08/05/2020Lucy taught my daughter (11) and son (8) for private art classes at her inspiring home in Highgate North London, every week over about a year.
The sessions were after school for two hours and each week my children came out of the lessons enthusiastic and excited by what they had done.
Lucy crafted each lesson to be interesting and appeal to their age, whilst stretching their creative thinking and artistic skills. Lessons showed them how to do paper craft, drawing from life, lino printing, film making, collage, and so much more. Each week I was amazed at what they came home with- really beautiful original art works and such creative ideas! I even tried alot of the ideas myself!
I cannot recommend her highly enough, as she is so warm and easy to get along with and has a great sense of play and fun. My kids love spending time with her and the art she has done with them has hugely impacted their own creativity.
I liked Lucys creative style so much that I invited her to work with me on some of my own Forest School projects, working with 3-8 year olds making woodland crafts. She brought a new injection of artistic energy to these sessions, with her ideas and sense of fun!Lucy is a highly dependable, intuitive and patient tutor. As one of her first students, she shaped my artistic practice at a young age with her knack for practical solutions (such as how to get the effect you want with pens or pencils) combined with exciting imaginative thinking. She really knows how to help someone discover and enjoy art for themselves and find their direction. I highly recommend her.
Lucy is a wonderful art teacher and a talented artist and maker. She has been a constant source of inspiration and guidance for my three daughters for the past 15 years. She is brilliant with all age groups from small children to teenagers and adults. My youngest daughter (13) paints and draws every day as a result of growing up with Lucy's influence. She really looks forward to her weekly lesson with Lucy and it gives her tremendous confidence.
My eldest daughter, now at university, has been doing online art classes with Lucy since the lockdown, which she is loving.
Lucy teaches a wide range of imaginative techniques in addition to painting and drawing - from making dolls, lino cuts, illustration, knitting, paper-folding, collage, marbling, ceramics...the list of what she can turn her hand to is almost endless.
Lucy has also taught my girls to be resourceful - to make use of what's around them at home and to be able to create beautiful and useful things from very little.
I highly recommend Lucy as an art teacher for all ages.View more recommendations
