Lucy Howard was born in Somerset in 1973. From an early age she was encouraged to draw and paint. Frequent trips to large art galleries in London maintained her interest in the visual arts.
Lucy is very much a self taught artist.She has been influenced by many artists including Stanley Spencer and Ronnie Copas.Her paintings are well crafted and often display the humorous side of life.
A keen sense of observation is evident in Lucy's paintings. She takes inspiration from many sources. A reoccuring theme to her work is rural life and everyday home life. Other inspiration could be listening to a play on the radio or the lyrics from a song can form an idea for a painting.
Until recently the amount of time Lucy Howard spent painting has been limited. Now her family are older she is concentrating on painting full time. This commitment has seen her gain wider recognition. In 2013 she was the winner of BBC One Show art competition beating over 700 entries after being chosen by esteemed artists and a curator of the National portrait gallery.
In addition to Red Rag art gallery Lucy Howard art work has been exhibited at other British Art Galleries. Each painting at Red Rag is sourced from the Lucy Howard artist studio and like all Red Rag British art and Contemporary art it can be shipped worldwide.
