MEET LUCY

darlington's story

Currently residing in Savannah, Georgia, Lucy Darlington is a native of the seaside town of Blackpool in the United Kingdom.

In 2018, Darlington’s passion for travel and discovery led her to spend a year living in the southeastern United States as part of a cultural exchange program with the England-based University of Central Lancashire. While living in Highlands, North Carolina, she solidified her place in the south by meeting her husband, Jamie Crotts, who is a sommelier and wine shop owner. Darlington later felt the allure of Georgia’s coastlands, moving to the region in 2022.

Surrounded by limitless inspiration, Darlington paints what she sees as beautiful. This includes natural subjects such as native birds and beach fossils, as well as farm produce, oysters, and wine – inspired by her connection to the local dining scene

Values

Quality

Darlington strives to uphold the highest standards in the production of her paintings, for each piece to be worthy of display in someone’s home – which she sees as the highest honor. This means adhering to an absolutely top measure of quality for both the materials and execution used for each painting. All production materials used are either handmade, or from independent USA-based purveyors. Painting techniques are classic and timeless, observing the achievements made by the old masters while drawing inspiration from the modern world.

Sustainability

To uphold a commitment to environmental responsibility, Darlington’s artwork showcases the beauty of nature while seeking to advocate for mindful living. Each piece springs from a source of inspiration for sustainable choices.

This is currently upheld in the selection of subjects – oysters(among the most sustainable sources of seafood), produce from small local farms, wines from responsible growers, etc.

In the future, the hope is to connect with suitable environmental organizations in order to fulfill this value at an even higher level.
