Print Quality
Every print is made using giclée printing—the same process used by galleries and museums worldwide. Unlike standard printing which uses just 4 colours, giclée uses 12 pigment-based inks to capture every subtle tone and shadow from my original painting.
Fine Art Prints are produced on 280gsm cotton art paper with a soft, subtle texture. The archival inks and acid-free paper mean your print will stay vibrant for generations—no fading, no yellowing.
Canvas Prints are on 370gsm polycotton with a semi-gloss finish that brings out the depth of the colours. Each canvas is hand-stretched over solid pine stretcher bars and arrives ready to hang.
Framed prints come behind crystal-clear perspex (not glass), so they're lighter and safer to ship. Canvas frames are floating frames—the canvas sits slightly forward from the frame, giving it a gallery look.

Meet Lucy
Lucy has been sketching and painting for as long as she can remember — as a child, family dinners often turned into drawing sessions on paper tablecloths.
After studying at the University of the Arts London, she spent years as an Art Director in television, working across productions, commercials, and music videos. That background shaped her bold, expressive style.
It was while living in Australia's Yarra Valley that Lucy fell in love with painting wildlife. The vibrant colours and unique animals became her focus — and that connection to nature has stayed with her since moving to Spain.
"I love living in nature — exploring forests, mountains, and oceans with my young daughters, and painting the unique and vivid fauna we encounter along the way."
