Lucy Rice - Abstract Painter

Lucy is a full time artist living in the small seaside town of Snells Beach, an hour North of Auckland, New Zealand, with her husband & 3 young children.She studied Photography and Art at Elam School of Fine Art in Auckland NZ  and spent 8 years running her own photography business (Lucy Rice Photography)  before launching her painting career in early 2019.Lucy works with acrylics & mixed media to create intuitive abstract pieces with glorious soft pastel and earthy tones. Her paintings play with the idea of physical & emotional landscapes as one. She is interested in the way colour balances each other on a painting & the healing properties of colour in a room. Natural earth elements, forms & metaphysics play a huge part in her work Lucy is a beautiful person with a beautiful art practice and I'm sure you'll love listening to her story.  She talks about her positive experience at art school, her passion for working with people through her photography practice, how she manages a healthy work/life balance as a full time artist with 3 young children and the ways she connects with her beloved Mum through her painting.https://www.lucyrice.co.nz/About your host: https://www.instagram.com/creative_matters/Mandy Jakich is the Founder and CEO of Creative Matters, an award winning business providing creative, educational opportunities to enrich the lives of our children, educators, artists and community. https://www.creativematters.co.nz/She is a practising artist www.amandajakich.co.nz and a teacher, with more than 30 years teaching in various capacities at primary and intermediate schools across Auckland NZ and as an art educator at Auckland Art Gallery.As well as this podcast, Creative Matters  facilitate Professional Development visual arts courses for primary teachers, visual art creative workshops and experiences for children and public art projects and creative opportunities  in the community.Support the showNgā mihi, thanks for listening!
