Martha Lucy is an artist based in Suffolk, UK.
Creating mixed media works that focus on expression through the human body. Whilst most often taking the form of drawing, Martha’s exploratory practice also includes painting, book arts, jewellery, doll making, textile crafts and more.

My creative practice is an eclectic mix of styles and influences, with it’s roots personal expression. Inspired by fantasy and folk lore, fashion and costume, alternative subcultures, spirituality, somatic expression and more. Over the years I have developed a distinctive style of drawing, using lines to express feeling through figures and faces, creating unique, bizarre and beautiful works of art.

I have created work for a range of industries, as well as having original artworks and prints in private collections around the world. My work can be seen across the UK, Europe, America, UAE, Australia and New Zealand.

Here’s The Truth Of It

My name is Martha. I am an artist, designer, crafter, maker of things. I draw, I paint, I sew, I cut and stick.
I am a goblin-like collector of sticks and stones, my pockets are always carrying feathers or shells.

I live in a world of make believe. I love all things magic and fantasy where I read tea leaves and talk to trees and draw the flow of feeling.

I like rich colour and high contrast images, beautiful line quality, highly textured surfaces like thick brush stokes and embellished textiles, minutely detailed drawings and bold abstractions.


I like 90s fashion and 2000’s music. I love festivals. I drink tea all day but coffee in the morning. I like fruit and pastry and cake and biscuits. I like to bake but I’m not very good.

I like ephemera, erotica, occult, design, illustration, hand made, maximalism, zines, queer things, book arts, witchery, history, jewellery, textiles, costumes, philosophy,
I didn’t mean to make this rhyme but that was fun… also stories, make believe, photography, kink, clouds, walks in the woods, knickknacks, and thingybobs.
