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!

So you clicked on the "ABOUT" page. This must mean you'd like to know some things about me - so here goes (I'll be amazed if you read all of this)
My name is Lucia - I wonder if you've guessed this already from the name of my business.
I am a Chippenham, Wiltshire, based artist, who specialises in painting animals and people.
This is me with my greyhound, Peacock.
I'd also like to include a selfie of me with my cat, Digger, but she says she doesn't DO selfies...
.... and she is in charge, after all.
And I like painting...
... is that obvious?
I will and CAN paint any animal.
If you don't believe me....
.... challenge me to paint any animal for you...
.... and then you can buy the painting (wink wink).
I guess it's also important to say that I am a mum of 3 rather crazy beautiful children and I have a handsome husband.
Needless to say, with such a great family, and my dream job, I am rather happy with my lot.
The Art Bio:
I paint animals.
I enjoy finding the beauty in animal studies and portraits.
I enjoy hearing stories about relationships with, and symbolism of, different animals. When one of my painted animals 'speak' to the viewer, and that connection is made, it gives the painting so much more depth and reason.
I am developing my understanding of human emotion through these connections people have with different animals.. This is helping me to understand myself better, as well as add a new depth to my latest work.
Well done if you've made it this far down the page!
If you want to find out more about me, I suggest you find me on facebook and send me a friend request.
I also post about myself and what I'm up to, so you will feel like you know me a lot better - and I'll get a chance to get to know you too.
