Lucy McEachern is a renowned, bronze sculptor drawing inspiration from her rural Australian surroundings. Brought up in the South West of Victoria on a farming property, Lucy has developed a deep affinity with the enchanting birds that dwell in the local landscape. Lucy’s tactile sculptures not only capture her subject’s individual characteristics, but also invite the viewer to feel its contours in a celebration of their majestic presence. Lucy McEachern’s sculptures can be found in galleries throughout Australia and collections worldwide.
