Since then, scientific evolution has cemented the line between fantasy and reality, but this Auckland artist is still celebrating the blurred boundary between the two realms.
Based in her home studio in Sandringham (she also teaches art classes here), Lucy produced her latest works, ‘Unnatural Histories’.
