Lucy Bauld

Lucy Bauld is an abstract artist based in Launceston, Tasmania. Working primarily with acrylics on canvas, Lucy’s paintings explore dynamic movement and texture, influenced by her background in maritime engineering. Her studies in hydrodynamics play a significant role in the fluidity and energy that defines her work, as she captures the powerful forces of nature through abstract forms. As an artist, Lucy is driven by a desire to bring the essence of movement and colour to life on the canvas, creating works that invite the viewer to experience a sense of motion inspired from wild landscapes. Lucy creates abstract works that explore the dynamic relationships between movement, texture, and colour. Her medium of choice is acrylic paints on canvas, where she uses bold, bright colours and energetic strokes to convey a sense of movement through my paintings. Lucy builds up paint to create texture, which shifts shadows throughout the day as the light changes, creating a constantly evolving experience for the viewer. Drawing from her background as a maritime engineer, Lucy's understanding of hydrodynamics and weather systems deeply informs the fluidity and motion in her work. The ever-changing landscapes of Tasmania, particularly the mountainous terrain and patterns Lucy finds when bushwalking, are also a significant source of inspiration for her. These are reflected in the layers of Lucy's paintings, as she builds up many layers of paint to create a sense of motion and flow that invites the eye to move across the canvas. Lucy's intention is simple: I want my art to bring colour, vibrancy, and excitement into people’s homes. Through her work, she hopes to share a little piece of the energy and beauty that she sees in the world.
