Introduction
Look at a Lucy Pittaway painting, and you can’t help but smile. There’s a real-life story in each work of art, which is more often than not inspired by the sights and sounds of her life in the Yorkshire Dales and those closest to her.
Now a multi award-winning artist, proudly running a family-owned business with a website serving international customers, four beautiful art galleries and a great team, read on to find out how the world of Lucy Pittaway came to fruition.
LUCY’S STORY
Graduating from Northumbria University with a degree in Graphic Design, Lucy forged a career as a designer before moving into teaching and lecturing at Darlington Technical College of Art and Design. Intrigued by the world outside the North East, Lucy quit her job at the age of 30, to travel to the Far East, where she ended up in South America and began teaching in Peru.
They say the greatest things happen when we are not expecting them… and on a fleeting visit back to the UK, Lucy was reunited with her childhood sweetheart Neil, who persuaded her not to return to Peru, and instead stay in Yorkshire. They went on to get married and start a family, which is the subject of much of Lucy’s work today.
Once their twins started school, she felt it was the perfect time to pursue her lifelong dream and give life as a professional artist a try. So, she began working from her small home studio, creating one off commissions and prints for exhibitions. Fast forward to today, and you’ll find Lucy’s work in homes and galleries across the UK and international destinations.
