Biography
Lucy Poett was born in Edinburgh, and studied in both Scotland and England, where she acquired a lasting interest in pictures and painting. After leaving school, she studied briefly at the Heatherly School of Art in London.
Living near Dundee, she was able to study sculpture under the late Scott Sutherland RSA at the Dundee College of Art. She then worked in London from a studio in Chelsea doing busts in bronze, and, at the same time, she started doing animal drawings in pencil. She had two successful exhibitions of drawings at the Malcolm Innes Gallery in London.
She has developed her artistic talent, and has taught herself to paint in oils, and now does portraits that she exhibits regularly at the Royal Society of Portrait Painters Exhibitions in London.
