From Salcombe with Love, by Lucy Young

There is a distinct, luminous quality to the light in Salcombe. For anyone who has watched the morning mist lift off the estuary or caught the golden hour reflecting on the tide, it is unforgettable. But for professional artist Lucy Young, this landscape isn't just an inspiration—it is a lifelong muse, captured through twenty years of dedicated, full-time mastery.

Now, in an exciting fusion of local artistry and curated luxury, Lucy’s work has found a temporary home as the featured guest artist at Susie Watson Designs, Salcombe. It is a natural partnership; both the studio and the design house share an innate understanding of what makes a house a home: texture, light, and a deep respect for timeless elegance.

A Collection Curated for the Discerning Home

For the design-conscious clientele of Susie Watson Designs Salcombe, choosing art is a deeply personal endeavor. Understanding that every space requires a different energy, Lucy Young has curated a beautifully versatile range for this showcase, spanning three distinct mediums:

 The Original Paintings: These are the commanding, one-of-a-kind statement pieces. Rich with texture and depth, they are investment works designed to anchor a room and act as the focal point of an interior design scheme.

 The Hand-Embellished Canvases: Bridging the gap between a print and an original, these premium canvas pieces are individually hand-painted over by the artist in the studio. By adding physical brushstrokes and unique textures, Lucy Young ensures that no two pieces are exactly alike, offering clients an exclusive, textured artwork tailored for modern living.

The Fine Art Prints: For those looking to curate gallery walls or add a touch of coastal refinement to smaller spaces, these archival-quality Giclée prints offer exceptional color fidelity and timeless appeal.

A Warm Invitation

Despite the high-end setting and the professional accolades, what shines through most when speaking with Lucy is a genuine warmth and a desire to connect.

"Art should be welcoming," the artist notes. "It’s about bringing a piece of the place you love into the sanctuary of your home."

Whether you are a lifelong collector of contemporary seascapes or looking for the perfect finishing touch for a newly designed interior, this guest showcase offers a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of Salcombe’s soul.
