Lucie Anderson is a full-time artist based in Napier, who specialises in working with alcohol-based inks. Her creative process involves exploring the flow and uniqueness of these inks, resulting in a one-of-a-kind and stunning artwork. She finds inspiration in the natural beauty surrounding her, and her pieces often reflect her love for nature and the environment. These original works, vibrant and often infused with gold or silver, are a treat for the eyes, evoking feelings of wonder and joy in viewers. Lucie’s artwork has gained a reputation for being bold and vibrant, with a distinct style. For Lucie, creating a new piece of art is a dance between her and her materials.. Once she begins, she finds joy in the flow of the wet ink, feeling the pull of certain colours or the influence of music, allowing it to guide her and shape the artwork’s personality. Large-scale pieces hold a particular appeal for her, as the more significant the canvas, the more room for the ink to flow and dance. Each abstract piece she creates reveals intricate details upon closer examination and radiates an energy that mirrors her bold and vibrant style.
