Based in Bradford but born in Leeds, Lucy is definitely a Yorkshire lass despite studying at Glasgow School of Art and subsequently falling in love with Scotland. She has spent much of her time in the last ten years being a visual artist and curator and is now editor of the contemporary art webzine on Axis. Her interests have diversified from visual art of late, getting passionate about politics, sound art, music, yoga, swimming and camping (yes, even in the rain). She also loves Twitter.
