Lucy H. West

Lucy H. West is a Philadelphia-based artist originally from Tokyo, Japan. Her work portrays human consciousness and inner experiences shared by many of us – while also reflecting her own identity of being a biracial, binational, bilingual, spiritual, queer, food-loving, woman. West graduated from Dickinson College in 2018 with a bachelor’s degree in Studio Art and a minor in Economics. Her diverse educational background includes studying visual art at Temple University in Rome, Italy, and the International School in Tokyo, Japan. In 2021 she traveled to Madrid, Spain, for an artist residency to further advance her art education and practice. She has shown work as well as had work acquired in these countries. West’s work was also recently acquired by the University of Pennsylvania’s Department of Medicine. She was selected to be the first artist in the Social Justice Initiative’s newfound program to represent local artists to promote diversity and inclusion in their local community. West continuously strives to create personal connections and a community around positivity, love for self, and love for life through her art.
