I live and create in the small town of Eskdale, Victoria, working across digital, pen and ink, paint, textiles and mixed media. My work includes prints, greeting cards, patterns, ceramics, and illustrations for clients and publishers. Whether by hand or on screen, I aim to bring a thoughtful, playful touch to everything I make. I’m inspired by the quiet magic of nature, textiles, music, travel, and architecture — and always curious about what’s next. Let’s create something together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5701757560b5e92eb868703f/1582016206154-H57BNY6IACURKJFMK6K5/southyarra.jpg About - About Hi, I’m Lucy Smyth — the artist behind Luseabythesea.
