Lacey Newhard is an artist and designer based in London, UK.

Newhard is a contemporary artist whose work explores the rich, ever-shifting terrain of human connection. Centered in female portraiture, her paintings examine the delicate relationships between people—and the often-overlooked dialogue between individuals and their environments. Through a playfully abstract lens, Newhard reimagines the familiar, blending expressive color, layered textures, and intuitive forms that blur the line between figuration and emotion.

Her portraits are not static likenesses but living conversations—between sitter and space, gesture and memory, artist and viewer. Newhard’s process invites spontaneity and curiosity, allowing the unpredictable interplay of abstraction and representation to mirror the complexity of human experience.
