I offer specialised editing services for visual artists working in any medium, and at any career stage. I have helped clients with artist’s statements, bios, arts essays, theses and dissertations, film synopses and publicity material.

Clear, effective prose allows you to connect powerfully with your audience, and can help secure grants, commissions, residencies, or whatever is important to you.

I understand the challenges of translating visual thinking into strong, elegant prose, and the time and focus this can take. Together, we can make that process as smooth as possible, and ensure that the finished text is accurate and professional.

TESTIMONIALS

“I needed a new statement to reflect my changing practice to use for some applications that were important to moving my career on. Lucy was a very effective sounding board and helped me work out exactly what it was I wanted to say. She was very insightful and patient and I came away with statement that I feel truly reflects my practice and which I am proud to stand behind. The experience has given me really useful knowledge for writing about my work in the future.”

Catherine Cleary, multi-disciplinary artist.

“Lucy helped me refine my waffling and clearly express myself, which has definitely helped people connect with my work. I find I really struggle to formulate my thoughts clearly. Lucy knows how to cherry-pick and rejig it so it all just works; she sort of comes in and ‘Harvey Keitels’ it, if you know what I mean. It just clicks together, like magic.

She is very calm and patient and one of the most helpful things is she really understands the art world. She gets where I’m coming from and how I want to project myself and my work.”

Max Ososki, visual artist

“I was really stuck with structuring my thesis. Lucy helped me get clear on how to organise my ideas. She also pointed out some areas that needed more research. She was very knowledgeable and it was reassuring to have someone check the academic conventions and grammar so I knew I was presenting a polished piece of work. And I got a first!”
