Inspired by the colouring, habitats, vocalisations, behaviours, food sources and conservation status of selected bird species from the natural science collection at Leicester Museum, the works bring together art, science and the natural world.

Working in collaboration with bird conservation charities, Lucy draws on research, case studies and academic journals from organisations including the RSPB and the British Trust for Ornithology (BTO). She translates this wealth of information into a visual language, distilling complex data into shapes, colours, lines and patterns. Using her signature style and a variety of mixed media, Lucy creates distinctive artworks that invite viewers to look beyond a bird’s appearance and discover the fascinating stories behind each species.
