Lucy Hare

Lucy Hare is a Toronto-based emerging artist and existentialist who explores themes of the human experience, the abstract quality of time, and the beauty of nature in her work. She graduated with a BFA in Drawing and Painting from OCAD University in 2019. Working mostly in egg tempera, watercolour or acrylic, she creates whimsical, fragmented, and abstract scenes derived from organic forms.

Lucy lives in the upper beaches with her three cats. She enjoys watching film critiques more than actual films and is obsessed with movie scores. Though she is a bit of a homebody and likes to play chess every weekend, she's always down to try new food, explore Toronto, and grab a drink with friends. She is drawn to museums and galleries and is interested in geology and palaeontology, themes and images she often filters into her work.

Lucy's neurotic nature is frequently expressed in her abstract works. She often creates pieces that exude a certain mood that corresponds with her own while she paints and processes her frustration and mental stresses through her work. Her studio space is as messy as her brain, but somehow she manages to keep herself organized.
