Growing up on a remote sheep farm in Dartmoor, Lucy Storrs' expert understanding of wool developed alongside a deep love of painting. Her artworks marry the two: in her unique position as a painter-weaver, she creates textured landscapes. Her works combine the feel of wool with the gestural capabilities of paint, forming brightly-coloured, abstract renditions of pastoral-themed oil paintings and watercolours in wool. Storrs is much inspired by the natural beauty of the land. Her works emerge from a free dive into this difficult-to-curb textile, striking a fine balance between relinquishing control of each woollen spool and intervening with movement. As she activates the wool's barbs into flowing layers of vibrant colour, they merge into animated, tactile scenes.

Lucy's work is exhibited widely across the U.K. and held in private collections at home and overseas. She is excited to continue exploring the possibilities brought out by this unique material through more abstract works and aerial landscapes.
