Lucy Harwood

Eva Lucy Harwood (1 January 1893 – 24 October 1972) was a British artist known for her landscape paintings of East Anglia and Suffolk.

Biography Harwood was born at Belstead near Ipswich and moved with her family to East Bergholt while still a young child. A botched medical operation left Harwood partially paralysed on her right-hand side and ended her ambition to be a professional pianist. Turning to art, rather than music, Harwood enrolled in the Slade School of Fine Art in London prior to the start of World War I. Harwood generally painted with a vivid, colour palette and described herself as a Post-Impressionist. A retrospective exhibition of her work was held at The Minories art centre in Colchester in 1975 and further shows followed at Sally Hunter Fine Art. Both the Ipswich Museum and the Colchester Art Society hold examples of her work.
