>> Cherie Langlois-Rivers discovered Lucy's photography work selling through Trademe
'I have purchased many photos off Lucy. Okay my favourite, actually they are 6 abstract photo’s printed on plywood 'tahi – rua – toru' Maori series was a present for myself and was a purchase when you had your big sale on trade-me. I love the use of colours, the unique wood and the cultural elements to the photos. My dad has passed away – these artworks and took me back to primary school and him teaching me how to count in maori. They are hung in the entry way of my home, everyone comments on them and I get great enjoyment looking at them from my dining room, I know I will have them forever as they are more than photos to me - they are pieces of art. Lucy has even allowed me to change my mind on purchases for others which were more suitable.I love watching your new work coming through – I have given several canvas pieces of yours to girlfriends for birthdays and it's fun watching them enjoy your work as much as I do!' Cherie Langlois-Rivers
>> Mark Rayner (North Shore) discovered Lucy's photography work selling through Trademe
'I bought 'Whangamata' 1m x 0.3m for myself. I love it because it's my favourite holiday place and it’s the view I look at every day I am there. It’s a very nice picture to remind me every day what I am missing out on. Lucy was very helpful and she even sent me other pics from Whanga, but nothing as good as the one I finally purchased and she is a very talented and helpful lady !' Mark-Rayner
>> Simon Bainbridge (Meadowbank) met Lucy at Eastridge Shopping Mall
'I bought the Auckland nightscape, 170cm and the 2 urban ones 1m each (Disillusionment and Infinity) -all works have been for myself. I bought the nightscape due the reflection of the colours. I had been searching for a good night time photo of Auckland and when I saw yours, wow! Still am blown away by it, it was just what I was looking for. On the 2 urban ones, I liked the monochromatic way that you took the shots, the sepia/black and white reinforcing the feeling of urban wastage. I find Lucy ethusiastic and helpful and she talked me through the sizing options and the different finishes available. When I have met Lucy at fairs she has always been happy, cheerful and a pleasure to talk to.' Simon Bainbridge
>> Emma Ryburn (Takapuna) met Lucy at Aotea Markets
'I bought 2 prints from you when you were at Aotea Markets - Muriwai 'Visionary' and urban 'Gangsta' for myself and my partner and have bought 2 others both beach scenes for my sister and her partner. I love the Muriwai ones as I have spent a lot of time at Muriwai beach in my youth etc to me flax, toi toi and the beach are home and I love the green sepia tones. Arn is a big hip-hop rap fan so loved the urban collage immensely ! I adore the attention to detail you place on each picture, the way you layer the pictures gives a 3 dimensional effect. Basically I love your artistic eye! it has encouraged me to get back into my own photography. I am attracted to Lucy's passion for art and always feel welcomed into the atmosphere that is her home or at her stand. Lucy's patience when letting me choose was appreciated although I guess she knew I would need time to select from such a large range of beautiful work!' Emma Ryburn

>> Sue and John Wilkinson (Glendowie) met Lucy at Eastridge Mall
'First off we purchased 3 beach scape scenes which we gave as gifts to family outside of NZ that travelled to our wedding. We also had Lucy do our wedding photos and purchased one small canvas print from these. Our last purchase was a large collage of photos representing Auckland with some of our wedding photos intersperced. We love Lucy's attention to detail and the way she has of capturing a certain angle or a certain slant of light. The Auckland collage is just lovely and we love the richness of colour and the many quirky angles Lucy uses to show a fresh and original perspective. Lucy was unobstrusive at our wedding and we were delighted with the variety of shots at times we had no idea she was photographing us. Our wedding photos were superb, such amazing creative shots. Lucy captured a wide spectrum of styles which make our photos unique and an invaluable record of our wedding day. Lucy is professional to the extreme and has a wonderfully creative eye. We feel confident that when we are looking for something specific for someone, that we can explain the concept and she delivers soome thing that exceeds our expectations.' Sue and John Wilkinson
>> Angela Jane Melville (Forrest Hill, North Shore) AJM Interior Design was referred through a friend
'I bought about 8 photographic artworks for my client's home (all different sizes and subjects). I love the subject matter you have chosen to work within. e.g. landscapes and seascapes in black and white and colour and I also love the way Lucy has a range of presentation styles from canvases to framed material. I really appreciate the way Lucy is flexible with the client's needs and we are able to choose what suits and it get adapted to the right size and frame etc. Lucy was very efficient with her program and delivery details and gave me plenty time to work through the options which I really appreciated.' Angela Jane Melville
>> Tinsley Jones (Kohimarama) heard about Lucy through a referral Jackie Jones Interior Design
'I got Lucy to photograph a particular angle / view of 'Kohi Beach' - Summer in the sun on beach bathing and sailing (1.35m x 0.72m canvas triptych) for my bathroom. I asked her to do this for me so that we could lie in the bath and think we were on Kohi Beach ! It brings the beach to the bath !' Tinsley Jones
>> Allan Kininmont (Remuera) saw Lucy's work at The Home Ideas Centre Exhibition in Parnell
'I bought 'What are you looking at' (Deer Park Heights, Queenstown) 1.8m x 0.4m as a present for me and my office ! I bought Lucy's photographic artwork as it is a stunning photograph of the subject, the colours and the moment, location and memories of home town. But also because it's an original piece of art and the image is unique. Lucy was extremely helpful she even measured up the office wall to make sure it would fit!' Allan Kininmont
>> Brett Beattie (Parnell) met Lucy while she was selling at The Rialto Mall in Newmarket
'I purchased 2 white box framed landscape photos for my apartment. I was attracted to Lucy’s work mostly because it was Auckland landscape that I recognised. The two photos that I selected were of Auckland scenery which is exactly what I was looking for. I also liked the look of the white boxed frame and the combination of frame and photo suited my apartment. Lucy was very helpful. She took the time to show me a variety of work and options so I could make an informed decision. And I certainly have recommended Lucy’s work to other people.' Brett Beattie
>> Jackie Jones (Glendowie) first met Lucy at St. Heliers Market Day
'I have 3 myself for my home and purchased several for gifts. All of the prints I have purchased for myself are quite close up and of plants rather than landscapes. I chose them for their colours and their simple subject matter and I always find Lucy helpful and friendly. I like that it is a real family enterprise also - I am always recommending your work.' Jackie Jones
>> Bevan Gibbs (Kohimarama) - Bevan's wife met Lucy at Eastridge Shopping Mall and they looked at Lucy's website that night
'We love your work. We bought 'Kohi in Summer' as a present for us and our house. We bought it as it is a photo of the beach that we love and call home and our two daughters love Kohi beach and have their birthday parties there so it has special memories. Also Lucy has an amazing eye for colour - the water looks like tropical paradise. Lucy is very helpful and enthusiastic and the framed print made a great Christmas present for our family ' Bevan Gibbs
>> Joanne Humphrey (Kohimarama) discovered Lucy at Eastridge Shopping Mall
'We have purchased a few of Lucy's photos over the years - two sets of the Maori number series - one for us and one for a gift. My sister just loved them as we do. We also have the trees in the domain photo 'Domain Dreaming' over our bed 500x800ish which is great. Another couple of wedding presents which have been very well recieved. The toi toi in the wind, another west coast beach scene with flax, and another couple of prints on plywood. I think that is it. My favourite being the maori number series so far. I love the style of photography and the depth of colours that is achieved even in the black and white series. They especially look great in the white frames that you do. We like to give wedding presents to people that they can treasure and that we are sure they will like. Everyone loves the prints as they are something a bit different, being abstract enough to go anywhere and fit with any decor. Some of our gifts have been of areas that are of interest to the people we have given them to and Lucy is always very helpful and approachable. We have mentioned you to a number of people, so I think your name is spreading.' Joanne Humphrey
>> Stacey Sinton (Newmarket) saw Lucy's photographic exhibition at The Home Ideas Centre, Parnell
'I got 2 graffiti photo blocks for a birthday present for my fiancé, he loves them and wants to purchase another one! I loved the colours and the size of them - we have a loft apartment with big blank walls and they add a really nice splash of colour! My fiancé also loves graffiti and I knew that he’d love the graffiti blocks… which he does! I also really like the way that they are framed, I think it gives them a nice clean finish. We both love them! Lucy was fantastic to deal with, she dropped the blocks off for me at my work, on a Saturday!' Stacey Sinton
>> Mark Cassidy (One Tree Hill, Auckland) ordered some photographic artworks from The Auckland Home Show
'Faces of Auckland' 0.8m x 0.8m Auckland photo collage and a huge graffiti collage 1.2m x 0.8m for my home - I love the combination of colour, location and subject matter caught my attention and found Lucy very helpful.' Mark Cassidy
>> Jeremy Opie (Kelston) knew about Lucy's photography work as he works with her at Pacific Environments Architects
'Faces of Auckland' photo collage I bought for my wife - we love the superb colours, angles, and unique shots portraying Auckland in a fresh light, and how ’engaging’ the work is. My daughter loves the ‘cartoon tagging’ – it really appeals to all. What is also great is that you can appreciate something new every time you look at it – the subtleties in the images. It’s not just photography – it’s art. Very clever! Great overall composition. Fine service with a smile and superb enthusiasm, I recommend Lucy's work all the time - everyone who comes over to my house loves the photo collage and asks where they can buy one !' Jeremy Opie
