Lucy Raverat is the professional name used by Lucy Rawlinson (nee Pryor, born 1948), a British painter.
She was interested in art through her youth, and in the 1960's she attended Hornsey College of Art, where she completed a pre-diploma course.[1][2] From there she traveled, spending time in India where she met her future husband, before moving to Lancaster. There she returned to painting, taking it up full time after her children started attending school.[1] In the 1990's she moved to France, where she currently resides.[3][2]
She often employs elements from her own life in her work, although they can be presented as "magically touched by fantasy",[2] and she has incorporated representations of herself through the series painted for the Francis Kyle Gallery's Roma exhibition, "present in each composition as a tiny, wraith-like figure in a polka-dot dress".[4]
