Lucy Pulvers

Lucy was born in Kyoto, Japan and grew up in both Tokyo and Kyoto until moving to Sydney in 2001. Lucy was educated in Japanese schools and is bilingual in Japanese and English. In 2014 Lucy was awarded the Thea Proctor Scholarship at the Julian Ashton Art School. Lucy paints in both oils and watercolours. Lucy’s paintings are an exploration of the inner emotional life of human beings. Lucy uses geometry, strong colour and bold lines to give her works an emotional power. Japanese aesthetic culture has had a major impact on Lucy's work. This year, for the sixth year in a row, watercolour paintings by Lucy have been selected for inclusion in the annual Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours exhibit at the Mall Galleries in London. In 2020, Lucy received the ‘President’s Choice Award’ and in 2024 the ‘Anthony J Lester Art Critic Award’ for works in the Mall Galleries exhibit. Lucy has participated in many solo and group shows and has been a finalist in prizes such as the Portia Geach Memorial Award and the Mosman Art Prize.
