Painter British, Born 1967

Lucy Threlfall is a Cambridgeshire artist who trained at the Anglia Ruskin school of Art. She paints large gestural landscapes and portraits in oils; fusing observations of nature with imagination and memory. The storytelling and archetypes of classical mythology also have particular power in her paintings. She has exhibited with the Royal Society of Portraits Painters at the Mall Galleries in 2003 and at Christie’s in 2005 in the Garrick Milne prize with a portrait of Jimmy Carr. Earlier this year she took part in Sky Art’s Portrait Artist of the Year, in which she won with a portrait of the singer Celeste.
