Old stories,
made vivid again.

Paintings, places, and precious things made with a steady hand — and a little room for wonder.

A little introduction

Made by hand.
Made to last.

Lucy Crabtree smiling for a portrait

Lucy trained in special effects for film and theatre before spending three years in Florence specialising in oil painting. That mix of precision and imagination still shapes everything she makes.

From an intimate commission to a six-foot church object, the aim is the same: to look closely, work sympathetically, and leave a little more life in the room.
