bylulu - lulu Clifton-Evans

About bylulu

Reflections on the power of life’s beauty is a common theme in the work of lulu Clifton-Evans.

lulu is emerging as a professional artist this year after a decade of healing and meditation – and is exhibiting under the name bylulu.

Her focus is the beauty of every day life in nature - which often offers unexpected moments of revelation reflected in colour, tone and atmosphere. Inspiration comes from her garden, her studio quaker parrots and her pets such as Henri (pictured).

A student of Bill Caldwell of the Twenty Melbourne Painter for years, lulu specialises in the richness of traditional oil painting.

Before being interrupted by a life event, lulu had a distinction average in her Degree in Visual Art (which included Painting 1, 2 and 3) which she is looking forward to revisiting and finishing.

Her work is currently held in collections in Paris, New Zealand, New Caledonia and Australia. Her website bylulu.com will be operational shortly.
