Lucy Burden

Lucy studied French and Drama at Manchester University and Acting at Central School of Speech and Drama. She has worked as an actor in theatre, television and film, as a community arts practitioner and at BAFTA.

Lucy moved back to Wales with her family in 2007 and lives near Llandrindod, where she teaches part time. After many years of dreaming about it Lucy finally took up painting in 2018. And so, at 53 years old, she describes herself as an “emerging artist”.

She has exhibited at Celf O Gwmpas, Theatre Brycheiniog, The Radnor Fringe Festival, The Radnorshire Museum, MOMA Machynlleth, Sea and Slate Gallery , The Lost Arc Rhayader and Mid Wales Arts Centre.

She particularly loves to paint the countryside of Mid Wales​ and the Cardiganshire coast.

“Fantastic use of light and movement – great colours and a real sense of the power of nature.”

“There is a serenity in Lucy’s images which soothes the soul. Even the tumultuous waves of her seascapes crashing against ragged rocks have a fluid calm within the brushwork, her palette the cool blues and greens which we associate with the peace we find when immersed in nature.”
