Hi, I’m Lucy! I am a 2D layout & background artist currently based in Edinburgh, Scotland. I have 3+ years experience working on TV and film projects within the animation industry and am excited to explore the mood and atmosphere of any project I work on.
Outside of the world of animation I have recently been getting into plein air painting, journaling, hiking and board games!
Next availability: Summer 2026
