Artists Exhibiting At Our London Art Fair

Bio:

Firstly my name is actually Kerry Edwards - So why Alice Lucy Art? Alice Lucy was my grandma, my mum’s mum. She sadly passed away when my mum was very young. Alice was only in her thirties, so, I personally never knew her. 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 had never met.

Before becoming an 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 selling my work to friends and family.

However In March 2019 I finally plucked up the courage and got a studio at Wimbledon Art Studios, this really, was the beginning of my professional career. Since then I have totally immersed myself in the creation of art and I have enjoyed being in a studio complex, learning from my fellow artists and absorbing all the creative energy that naturally comes from that environment.

Artistically my main focus is wildlife. I am 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.

Whilst my attention may be focused on animals as a subject, I choose to paint them in a variety of bright colours. This is because South Africa is such a colourful place, its people often dress in bright colours, and homes, markets, shops, townships are such vibrant places, you can’t fail to be influenced by it. So, I guess my artwork is an amalgam of the two, South African animals, in the vibrant colour choices of its human inhabitants. It is after all, known as the rainbow nation!
