“Shouldn’t have to shout to be heard” Campaign

Lucy was commissioned by The Span Project, University of Bristol and Barton Hill Wellspring Settlement to create artwork from researchers findings. The campaign aims to promote the experiences of families most affected by the pandemic and the cost of living crisis. Throughout the Covid 19 lockdowns, conversations with parents based in Bristol, made it very clear that the challenges of the pandemic were being felt particularly acutely by families living with disability, those on low income, those from minority communities, as well as single parents and new mothers. The project was designed to offer a platform in the public realm for parents’ voices.

The project saw Lucy create 6 billboards and 22 posters around Bristol with the campaign slogan and her original artwork, inspired by the research findings.

 

Nanette Hayes Series

Lucy was commissioned by John Murray Press and Baskerville to create three stylish, bold, colourful book covers for the Nanette Hayes Trilogy series. “Originally published in the 1990’s, this stylish piece of noir is an original and page turning read starring an unforgettable heroine”.

 

Rockett St George

Lucy was selected as a winner Rockett St George’s #ChangeAGirlsLife campaign, in partnership with The Prince’s Trust, that recognises and addresses the challenges that young women in the UK face today.

This year’s theme is Care & Wellbeing, with emphasis on how social justice, economic equity and community play a role in our wellness. Lucy created two pieces of work around the themes, entitled “History is Black” and “Eye 2021”.
