Lucy Peterson Watkins (April 29,1949-February 11, 2025)
I’m a graphic artist who finds comfort in hard lines, bold colors, and sharp angles. To balance these strong elements, I work primarily on silk and cotton, which soften the edges of my designs and add a tactile warmth. I build texture through thread-play, inks, dyes, and quilting techniques. Most of my silk and fiber pieces are hand-dyed or inked to achieve rich, pure color.
I have a particular love for creating pieced fiber art—some of my works contain over 5,000 tiny fabric pieces. My inspiration often comes from the place I call home. I grew up in Logan and now live in North Logan, Utah. Many of my pieces reflect the beauty of the Mountain West and the charm of local street scenes. I also enjoy creating vibrant florals and colorful animal portraits. Several of my larger works are available as 5x7 frameable cards, which have become especially popular. My art has been featured at Red Butte Garden and Arboretum, The Artist’s Gallery, SummerFest in Logan, and many other regional galleries and art shows.
Together with my late husband, Cary, I founded the one-day art festival Art on the Lawn, which took place annually from 2004-2016 on the last Saturday in June. We loved bringing local and regional artists and the community together on the property around the old Crookston homestead in North Logan.
The family of the late Lucy Peterson Watkins are very grateful to The Artist's Gallery for showcasing Lucy's work during the years that she volunteered at the gallery and during the April 25, 2025 Art Walk.
