About Lucy
Lucy Wellborn Smith
Lucy is a Georgia-based painter whose work explores the quiet poetry of texture, time, and transformation. A graduate of the University of Georgia’s highly selective Graphic Design program, Lucy brings a designer’s discipline to an artist’s intuition. Her years immersed in composition, color theory, and balance now reveal themselves through layers of paint instead of pixels.
Whether experimenting with cracked gesso, sun-washed dyes, or earth pigments, Lucy’s paintings embody a relaxed, natural elegance that mirrors her own presence: barefoot more often than not, intuitive, unpolished, yet always intentional. She’s the artist clients call when they want something soulful, grounded, and quietly powerful.
Her aesthetic bridges refinement and rawness: part design language, part lived-in soul. Whether hanging in a collected home or an airy modern space, her paintings feel like they’ve always belonged there.
