Lucy Hersey, Finite, 2026
Earth pigment, copper verdigris, charcoal and binder on canvas, weathered branch, 80x29cm framed
Through a decade of research and practice dedicated to the use of earth pigments, Lucy Hersey has developed her own unique technique for making paint and representative paintings using thoughtfully collected local earth, soils and clay. Her work is deeply connected to the landscape, both in composition and in materiality; explored across large and small scale works, en plein air practice and more recently; sculptural form. Lucy’s work is informed by rigorous research, experimentation and methodical development of new techniques for using earth as a medium; as she blends pigment science and art history with environmentalism to create works which speak deeply of place, and her personal experience of the landscape.
In 2026 Lucy’s work was celebrated with a significant, commissioned solo exhibition at the Latrobe Regional Gallery. Lucy has also held solo exhibitions with Leighton Contemporary, Cook Street Collective and Brunswick Street Gallery and has been a finalist in the Ravenswood Australian women’s art prize, Fleurieu and Omnia Prizes. Lucy has delivered a large commissions for Farmers Daughters Restaurants in Melbourne, The Mowbray luxury apartments in Brisbane and the Victorian Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action. Her work and practice has been featured in The Design Files, Country Style Magazine, Home Beautiful and used in the ABC production ‘Fisk’. Lucy lives and works in the small regional Victorian town of Loch on Gunai-kurnai country (Gippsland), where she is actively engaged with the local arts community as director of the On Clarence studios and collective.
A short drive into the hills behind our little township you find yourself deep in the Strzelecki rainforest. A haven for birdlife, wallabies and wombats, the treefern gullies remind us of a time when the Gippsland landscape looked vastly different, and what we stand to lose in the face of a changing climate.
Painted in Gippsland earth pigment.
