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 now 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 and the 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 at Saruya AIR in Japan and showed her works in When the Curtain Falls at Blue Shop Cottage and Horizons at Flinders Lane Gallery. She will attend the Helene Wurlitzer artist residency in Taos, New Mexico this year. My work centres around reconstructed compositions of real and digital memories from the places I’ve lived in and travelled to, creating images that prompt a strange nostalgia. Together, the works build a world that conveys a sense of familiarity, unease and tension, hinting at the events that may or may not have happened. Whether evoking a sense of sentimentality, foreboding, or transformation, they invite viewers to reflect on their experiences and connect with the inner landscapes we all navigate.
