Lucy Temple was taught by Keith Critchlow at the Prince’s Foundation School of Traditional Arts where she completed her MA.

She specialises in painting patterns mostly from ancient Islamic design, bringing to them her unique sense of colour.

For her there is a resonance between the world within us and what we create and express around us. Making traditional geometric patterns opens the artistic process towards order and meaning. “There are patterns in flowers; in trees and seeds; cloud formations; sand shapes when the tide goes out; patterns on our skin and in the iris of our eyes; patterns in the stars and the solar system and everything under the sea; on fish scales and snails, in the flight of birds; in music and rhythm; patterns in our behaviour and our thinking”.

All of Lucy’s paintings are watercolour on paper.
