The soul
behind
the studio
I stopped painting when I was 23. Heavily pregnant with my first child.
Life had arrived, and in the midsts of the quiet chaos of raising a family and building a business, my art practice got left behind. Not a conscious decision. Just gradually, the way things do when you keep putting yourself at the end of the list.
For nearly 20 years, I told myself I'd get back to it. Someday.
It took feeling truly lost in my own life for something to finally shift. A persistent nudge that grew stronger, and finally became impossible to ignore. I knew I desperately needed to paint again!
Even then, it took time. There was so much doubt around simply beginning, the fear of picking up a brush after so long and realising that whatever was there previously, may be lost forever. It wasn't until I finally let go of trying to make something that looked good, and just allowed myself to drop into it, that I understood what I had been missing.
There was pure peace.
No noise, no judgement. Just me and my own creativity at play.
It felt like coming home to myself after years of being lost.
Why branding & websites for artists?
The idea came to me in the shower (as the best ones often do!)
I’d had a year of feeling deeply disheartened with the direction of my business, and tbh I wasn't looking for a niche. I was looking for a reason to keep going. And then, this arrived. The thought of bringing my design work into the world of artists, and it felt so completely, unmistakably right that I knew I hadn't found it. It had found me.
Because I'm not just a designer who works with artists. I'm an artist who designs for artists. And I know from my own experience exactly what it takes to finally say, it's time to bring my work into the world!
Someone who knows what it feels like to have creativity moving through you like energy, and to not quite have the words to explain it. Someone who understands the vulnerability of putting work into the world that came from somewhere wordless and private.
Both of my creative lives are growing alongside each other now, entwining, feeding each other, becoming something I couldn't have imagined a few years ago.
And that feels like exactly where I'm supposed to be.
a little about me
I’m Lucie - based in Scotland, I’m a muma, tea drinker, pup snuggler, artist, lover of the little things and a big believer in the magic of the universe, and someone who’s taken more than a few wrong turns before finding the work that lit up my soul.
If you're here, you're probably walking your own winding path too.
It would be an honour to walk beside you for part of it. If you'd like to find out how we could work together…
