I explore and develop unwanted materials to create art from salvaged resources, giving them new and beautiful forms. Marrying unusual combinations of materials I create impressionistic representations of British wildlife. My work is informed by the colours and textures of the reclaimed materials I forage.

Artist Lucy Wray creates vibrantly animated wildlife art using reclaimed waste.
Reanimating used materials in this way Lucy aims to highlight the worth of the things we throw away.
Giving waste a second life lessens the impact producing these materials have on our planet.
“I hope my creative work helps people to appreciate nature with a small reminder of how we are negatively impacting our shared environment”.
