Lucy Beveridge
I graduated in art history/visual culture from Brighton University's School of Historical and Critical Studies in 2003 and from the Shakespeare Institute of Birmingham University in 2005.
My work is on the borderline between art and design; informed by my interests in architectural history, production design for theatre and film and the work of Inigo Jones.
When not drawing, painting and exhibiting I read, watch film/television adaptations of Shakespeares’ plays; design and construct theatre sets , costumes and masks; visit castles, art galleries and museums ; go for long walks and occasionally ride.

By Charles Hutchinson
Lucy Beveridge draws on her fascination with period architecture and interior décor for her exhibition in the hidden church of Holy Trinity, Goodramgate, York.
Her practice encompasses both art and design, working in the field of theatre production and as an artist. “My work is informed by my interests in architectural history, production design for theatre and film, and the work of Inigo Jones,” says Lucy, who graduated in art history from Brighton University’s School of Historical and Critical Studies in 2003 and from the Shakespeare Institute of Birmingham University in 2005.
Her works of art will complement the medieval setting of Holy Trinity, with its fine medieval glass and early 17th century box pews.
Inspiring Architecture and Décor: A Period Piece will run from May 14 to May 28, open Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 4pm A donation from the sale of each painting will be made to the Churches Conservation Trust.

Portrait of an Artist
Richard Foster talks to an artist inspired by the theatre.
'Artistic ambition stirred by greasepaint'
Lucy Beveridge knew she wanted to be an artist when, at the age of 11, she was given an illustrated copy of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream ' by William Shakespeare.
She recalls: 'True to form, I was more interested in the appendix on Shakespeare in fine art than the actual text, so this was probably an early indication concerning the path of my later career and the course that I was likely to take.
She exhibited her first drawing at the age of 12 in a competition for amateur artists held in Huddersfield and, two years later, she was involved in an Opera North-funded production of 'The Threepenny Opera', which was also staged in Huddersfield.
Lucy recalls: "My parents wanted me on-stage when I decidedly preferred to be behind the scenes. So throughout the production, I spent as much time as I could backstage so that I could contribute to the production without having to endure the embarrassment of being on stage. This sparked a life-long interest in theatre design/production and its history.
She published her first piece of work at 16- a black and white illustration for 'The North', A Huddersfield-based poetry magazine.
She spent six months at Highfields Art College in Huddersfield studying for a BTEC diploma and then, aged 17, spent a few very chalky months supporting herself through pavement art in Huddersfield and York.
In her late-20s and early-30s, she completed an art history degree at Brighton University and an MA in Shakespeare, Stratford upon Avon and the Cultural History of Renaissance England at the Shakespeare Institute in Stratford upon Avon ( Birmingham University).
Lucy says: " During this time, I undertook the set/property design for the Shakespeare Institute Players' productions of 'Much Ado about Nothing' and 'Macbeth', visited castles, period buildings and historic theatres in order to familiarise myself with the development of period architecture through the ages and developed a particular interest in the stage designs of Inigo Jones, the 17th century architect and stage designer in the court of James I.
After graduation, Lucy drew these various interests and influences together and began to produce/exhibit paintings on themes ranging from theatre/period architecture to theatre itself and Shakespearean characterisation in fine art.
She says: " My work is on the borderline between art and design, informed by my interests in architectural history, production design for theatre and film and the work of Inigo Jones."
Lucy has had two exhibitions in York in the Blake Head Bookshop & Gallery, in Micklegate, and Holy Trinity Church, in Goodramgate, plus one in London with New Art Originals. She has paintings on display at the Braithwaite Gallery in York.

Philosophy?
Other than painting what I want to paint; 'philosophy' doesn't come into it. :)
