Lucy Raverat is the professional name used by Lucy Ethne Rawlinson, a British painter.
Background
Born in Cambridge, Lucy Raverat is the daughter of Mark Gillachrist Marlborough Pryor, Fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, and Sophie (née Raverat), daughter of the artists Jacques Raverat and his wife Gwen (née Darwin). Through her maternal grandmother she is a great-great-granddaughter of the naturalist Charles Darwin.
Education
She was interested in art through her youth, and in the 1960s she attended Hornsey College of Art, where she completed a pre-diploma course.
Career
Her elder brother is William, a writer and entrepreneur. In the 1990s she moved to France, where she currently resides. She often employs elements from her own life in her work, although they can be presented as "magically touched by fantasy", 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".
