Lucy Hunter

with a degree in fine art from Liverpool university, a lifetime designing gardens and self-taught photography her work is constantly looking at ways in which we can soften and meld the boundaries between the inside and out. capturing for a moment the fine and transitory shifts in nature, the light of the changing seasons and always, colour, form and composition.
when she is not travelling, lucy retreats to her own, Invariably intertwined garden and studio in the mountains in north wales. here she creates, teaches, has a constant, ongoing dialogue with the weeds in the garden and walks with her dogs and camera.
she also, occasionally, sells beautiful objects for curation inside and out found on her journeys that inspire and have a story to tell.”

I had the loveliest conversation with Lucy Hunter // Lucy the Flower Hunter yesterday. If you don’t know of Lucy’s amazing work, you must take a peek. It’s beyond beautiful.

We talked about Lucy’s creative journey from working at a bank to landscape design, to her beautiful florals and writing…and her exciting NEW book releasing soon (available for pre-order.)

I’m so excited about this book. I know it’s going to be amazing. ♡

Look at that lovely Cover

and it’s ready for pre-order too. ♡

I love how openly Lucy talked about quieting ‘the chimp on her shoulder’ (AKA fear & self-doubt) and doing it anyways!
How an Instagram DM from Rachel Ashwell landed her beautiful florals in Rachel’s book, My Floral Affair.
(Side note: How did I not know about this book? I had to order it and I can’t wait for it to arrive).

To hear more about Lucy’s creative journey I highly recommend this podcast interview on the Restless Creatives podcast, which she co-hosts with the lovely Brigitte Girling & Fiona Pickles).
