Lucy Ward is an artist and academic based in Bristol, UK.
Her work is drawing, more often than not, and she is interested in repetition, pattern and the systems and practices related to these. Her drawings are a way of understanding our behaviours and habits, and she draws on ideas in maths to help think things through.
Lucy teaches in the School of Arts at UWE on the Fine Art programme. She is also Academic Lead for Drawing in the School, developing Drawing as a core part of the curriculum for all arts students.
Lucy recently collaborated with a mathematician and scientist at Bristol University to produce the event, Aperiodic, which included an academic conference at UoB and group exhibition at Kit Form Gallery.
Lucy is working with research colleagues on a publication about the field of Drawing Research, to be published in 2027 by Bloomsbury. They recently held a symposium and exhibition at Birmingham School of Art called, What is Drawing Research?
Lucy has three young children.
Lucy is a member of UWE Drawing Research.
Lucy is a Drawing Associate of the Big Draw and runs the Drawing Resource Exchange series
