About
Born 1983, Yeppoon, QLD, Australia
Lucy Ray is a Melbourne artist raised in Yeppoon, on the traditional land of the Darumbal People of Central Queensland. She lives between Australia and Abu Dhabi, UAE.
She studied art and design, completing a diploma in fine arts at TAFE Queensland and later receiving her bachelor’s degree in interior design & built environment. From there, Lucy worked as an illustrator, digital artist and textile designer before returning to pursue fine art again in 2017.
Since moving part-time to Abu Dhabi in 2019, she has actively pursued the art community in Australia and internationally, exhibiting in Dubai, London, Japan and Melbourne through invitational group shows and collectives.
In 2023, she was a finalist in Exploration 23 at Flinders Lane Gallery, exhibited in Locals 23 at Outré Gallery, and the Delphin Opencall 23 show. She was a finalist in the Dobell Drawing Prize and was selected for Booooooom!‘s Tomorrow’s Talent Book III and issue 8 of New Visionary Magazin. In December, she attended the Vermont Studio Center artist residency.
At the end of 2024, she spent two months in Japan at Saruya AIR and showed works in When the Curtain Falls at Blue Shop Cottage and Horizons at Flinders Lane Gallery.
This year, she will attend the Helene Wurlitzer artist residency in Taos, New Mexico and have her first international solo exhibition with Blue Shop Galleries in London.
