Lucy Magee

The inspiration from my art has come from many things; My travels of the world; being born and raised in Belfast, Ireland surrounded by the incredible Irish landscapes and the mystical Irish folklore and wonderful traditions that have helped broaden my imagination, living in Southern California for the last 7 years having the most beautiful coastal views on a daily basis, travelling around Barcelona and the Amalfi Coast where I was awed and inspired by the amazing mosaics by Gaudi and the exquisite tiled art of Positano. I also lived in Merida in the Yucatan Peninsula for a year which was an amazing experience; I swam in cenotes, saw ancient Mayan ruins, learnt how to speak Spanish, discovered Chaya Frescas (yum!!!), and was surrounded by the most glorious bodies of water! Some pink, some mint.. some the home of flamingos. It was a pastel heaven! I also take inspiration in the colours, animals, places and stories that uplift me and provide a sense of serenity. You may notice a hint of fairytale magic in my paintings, ok a lot, but it really makes me happy! And I want to pass that happiness on to you, my friends.
