Painting using Earth pigments
Mirboo North
Residency open studio
Please come and visit me in Mirboo North at any time to take a peek inside the workings of my studio, and have a chat about my practice. I'll be making paint and paintings, listening to music and drinking coffee.
Process
For me, it is the raw elements that determine the final outcome of the painting. I'm more interested in how the colours and textures look together than my intended composition – I take my cues from the materials and how they behave on the canvas, letting them guide me, rather than trying to bend them to my will. At the moment I am most inspired by landscapes, and painting abstracted scenes from around South Gippsland.

Artist
Lucy Hersey
I am an emerging artist from Loch working in earth pigments. I am fascinated in making paintings using natural materials. I'm very excited to spend some time focusing my practice in Mirboo North, collaborating and sharing with new friends!
You'll find me at 75 Ridgeway Mirboo North (the old apothecary), Tuesday to Friday. If you're coming especially to visit me just send a message ahead of time and I'll make sure I'm there to meet you.
