The paintings were leased from Abstein Gallery in Atlanta, where the movie was filmed. And in 2006, five paintings were leased for the film, Who’s Your Caddy, filmed in Aiken, S.C. Her painting, Angel Triumphant, was featured on the cover of The Upper Room magazine. In 2015, two paintings were selected to exhibit in the office of the Governor of Georgia , Nathan Deal.

Lucy works in oil, oil and cold wax, acrylic and often mixed media, combining acrylic and collage to create texture and pattern.


Artist Statement:

Nature is my subject matter. I reside on the Savannah River so I am totally influenced by what surrounds that body of water. But my heart also goes out to my love of the mountains of North Carolina and beaches of South Carolina as well. The results of my painting may be representational or abstract, whatever my tools dictate.
