I am inspired by people and animals. I am interested in the way they behave and their thoughts. My art has taken on a life of its own recently, following a path of exploration into portraiture, wild life and nature, and also different media and combinations of media within one painting. Images of this work can be found in my gallery, as well my Facebook and Instagram pages. Follow me on social media for regular updates to my painting journey
My paintings are mainly in watercolour which will come to you mounted and in a plastic sleeve. I love the freedom I have when I paint with watercolour. Water has a life of its own and I enjoy the slow process of layering up the colours of water to see the final results. Some of my work is in acrylic. I feel less free when I paint with acrylic, and enjoy concentrating on the details.
Prints (a5 and a4) and digital copies (up to a4 size) are available too. I will add these to my Etsy shop soon, or feel free to message me directly, as I am always happy to talk and advise.
I can post straight to you in 1 - 2 days, free postage, if you are within the UK. Times may change if outside the UK and postage cost will apply. I can also post to a different address, if it is for a gift, and add a personalised note for you. Again, just message me with details.
If for any reason you are unhappy with the painting, I will give you a full refund if you can return the painting in the same standard as I have sent it to you, with the secure and protective packing.
If you are interested in having a painting painted for you personally, then please send me a message. I am always looking for more inspiration and ideas for painting, so all suggestions welcome!
Links will take you to my Etsy account where you can purchase them
Happy Animal Art to Brighten Your Day 🐾
Hello, I’m Lucia, and I paint happy animals to bring colour, calm, and smiles into your home.
If you’ve ever felt the world is a bit too loud, or you’ve had one of those “hard days”…
...my animals are here to remind you that joy still exists.
And there are only two ways to collect them:
✨ The Print Club
Your monthly smile in the post.
Each month, I spin a little wheel of suggestions from my collectors, paint a brand-new animal, and send the print out to the Print Club members.
It’s like a surprise hug arriving in your letterbox - and it means you’re building a joyful collection, one month at a time.
🎨 Adopt an Original (for the quick and the lucky!)
When I finish a new painting, the original is shown to the people who follow my emails and Facebook posts (in fact, I also show progress hots along the way).
These paintings are one-of-a-kind, and when they’re gone, they’re gone.
If you’d love the chance to grab one, make sure you’re on my mailing list or following along on Facebook.
Not ready yet? Start with a free smile.
You can meet lots of animals with the Smile a Day Stories - tiny animal tales that arrive in your inbox each morning for 30 days - for FREE
Think of it as a mini boost of happy before you’ve even finished your tea.
I'm an animal lover, and firm believer that a little colour and kindness on the wall can lift even the greyest day.
I help bring a spark of joy to people's lives and homes through my paintings of happy animals.
My paintings and prints help my collectors maintain positive attitudes when life feels challenging.
