biography
Portraiture and figure drawing are key elements of Lucy's practice. She enjoys working with characterful and expressive faces, and tries to capture a sense of mood and emotion through mark-making and tone.
Lucy Bartholomew graduated from Camberwell College of Arts in 2008 with a BA (hons) in Fine Art; Drawing. She lives and works in Kent, UK, and has been working as a secondary school Art teacher since 2010.
Lucy works with a range of media including drawing, painting and printmaking. She produced a single-layer, monochrome lino print portrait of Nish Kumar in Portrait Artist of the Year 2021. Since appearing on the show, she has been experimenting with the addition of colour to her lino prints using multi-layer reduction processes.
