Hi, I'm Lucy and I’m a multidisciplinary artist based in Manchester, UK. I'm heavily inspired by nostalgia, otherworldliness and exploring the interaction between the internet and our natural world.
The main focus of my work is based on the desire to create an immersive world around the subject I’m creating for, whether that be through the use of graphic design, photography, video or sound design. I especially have an interest in visual identity surrounding the process of creating an identity for music artists.
