Lucille Martin is an award winning Australian contemporary artist based in the Byron Bay Hinterland. Lucille works with textile, installation, recycled materials and word.
Her current work inspires awareness about humanitarian, environmental, political and women’s issues. Nationally recognised, Lucille has exhibited widely throughout Australia for over 20 years inspiring and moving audiences. Her work has received awards, commissions and overseas residencies.
Martin's beautifully created pieces resonate in their appeal. Conceptual in approach, Lucille aims to highlight and fuse the traditional craft practices of sewing and monogramming with modern technology and contemporary language. She takes her viewers on an intimate and poetic journey, providing dynamic yet sensitive engagement with her audience and the wider public.
