Lucy James is a local artist who has lived in the Cheddar Valley for many years.

 

She paints in oils and acrylics, loving the variety of mark making and texture that can be used to build up an image and also draws in pastels and charcoal.

 

Colour and light are what excite her most, whether in a local landscape (so much variety, so much inspiration), a still life in the studio or trying to capture a person in a portrait.
