My name is Lucy Oates, I'm a mixed media artist I produce murals and work with communities to create public art/ installations. Through composition and colour I set out to enhance and transform spaces. I trained at the Royal College of Art, prior to this I studied Contemporary Arts Practice at Bath Spa. I have been awarded the DYCP Arts Council award to develop my murals for interior and public spaces adding functional and sensory elements. Through exploring new mediums and attending courses to upskill in wood, ceramic and tiling I have been developing and exploring prototypes. I built my mural practice up with the support of the Bristol Mural Collective- a female led arts collective. Within this group I have partaken and led several community projects and had the space to grow and develop my style.

Alongside my mural practice I teach printmaking workshops and have experience working with a range of ages and abilities and in SEND schools and hospitals.
