Lucy mara studio
Welcome! This is my 2026 collection. Strange women, bold color, unusual faces, and other things I wanted to see, so I made them.
Hello, I’m Lucy. I’ve been painting and illustrating professionally for 19 years, mostly through contract work and children’s books. I created Lucy Mara Studio as a place to make and share the work that feels most like me. Here you’ll find my original paintings, illustrations, and collections.
