About

Hello! Welcome to Alice Lucy Art, here’s a little bit about me…

Firstly my name is actually Kerry Edwards - So why Alice Lucy Art? Alice Lucy was my grandmother, She sadly passed away when my mum was very young.  Her life was cut short,  and I made a promise to myself that if I ever ran my own business, I would name it after her - to include her in my life, even though we have never met.

Before becoming a full time artist, I had a professional career in Accounting, working in the City of London and in New York, and latterly as a full time mum to twin girls.

During this time, I had been painting and drawing for many years as a hobbyist, taking classes at Putney School of Art, and other various part time courses.

However In March 2019 I finally plucked up the courage and took a studio at Wimbledon Art Studios, this really, was the beginning of my professional career. From this point I totally immersed myself in painting and drawing and the business side of being an artist.  My work has been in galleries in London, and I have taken part in many art fairs in London and across the south of the UK.

So what drives my artistic passions?  from the very beginning it has always been about wildlife and mother nature, which I find endlessly fascinating, I am also married to a South African, and I have enjoyed several trips to South Africa, during which I have had the pleasure of visiting a few Safari Parks. This is where my love of Big Game Animals stems from.  Equally, I am a maximalist at heart and bright colours play a large part in my artistic focus, which brings me much joy.

So, why should you buy my work?  My main aim is simply to make you smile, painting, drawing, creating and colour brings so much joy to my life and I want that for everyone else too.  I firmly believe that colour can really lift your spirits and if you enjoy wildlife and botanicals too? Then I’m your girl!

If you do like my work, don’t be afraid to get in touch, it’s always encouraging to hear that people appreciate it, or if you have any questions - fire away!
