Lucy Birch is an abstract painter based on the west coast of Ireland. Trained in graphic design and later in product and furniture design, she spent years working in other fields before returning to her creative practice in her forties. Her work is intuitive and bold, acrylics on canvas shaped by the Atlantic landscape, its light, weather and coastline. She layers colour and transparency to build depth, leaving the history of each painting visible in its surface.
