BIOGRAPHY:
Born in Oakland, NJ in 1968, Lucy currently lives in Contoocook, NH. She graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a BFA in 1991 and from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design with an MFA in 1995.

ARTIST STATEMENT:
I am consumed by combinations of color and form as a visual, abstract diary of my life, where time does not belong to me, but to others.

I am frequently organizing their things while they dance.
I am in a situation.
