ABOUT LUCIA

Lucia Fraser is a multidisciplinary artist specialising in painting and ceramics. Her practice is rooted in fluidity, intuition and a deep connection to nature. Drawing inspiration from shifting landscapes and the interplay of light, colour and texture she creates work that is gestural and expressive.

Her paintings not meant as direct representations of place, more remembered interpretations​​ of an atmosphere or emotion, inspired by a distant memory or a place in time. Anything is possible within the composition during the process of painting, the works can therefore evolve to become entirely abstract through a deliberate release of conscious control.​

Lucia’s approach to ceramics is heavily influenced by her painting practice, she translates her painterly sensibility into crafting pieces that feel as grounding as they are beautiful. Her process is deeply intuitive, allowing the clay to guide each creation, resulting in ceramics that blur the line between function and sculpture.

Lucia studied BA (Hons) Fine Art at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, graduating in 2005. She has since exhibited her work in galleries across the UK and has collaborated with iconic British design brands such as Hobbs and Heal’s Furniture. 

She is currently based in the Ceiriog Valley on the Shropshire / Wales border where she lives with her partner and son.
