Parented by artists and
travelling hippies, Lucie grew up between Hampshire, Somerset and

Lucie has spent time in
therapy and rehab for various demons. Her interest and passion for
the arts and its empathetic/therapeutic qualities inspired her to
put together an anthology with contributions from other artists
entitled; Crazy Days~ an expression of depression, before then
going on to form Little Episodes.

Having broken away from
the confines of London open office planning, Chris has spent over a
decade in communications, working across strategy and design for
government bodies.
Fatigued with the 9-5, he returned to the arts in 2008, and now
works on private commissions in both fine art painting as well as
commercial design, along with developing his own portfolio. After a
chance meeting with Lucie, he co-founded Little Episodes in 2009 in
an attempt to draw attention to the therapeutic possibilities of
the arts. He now splits his time between London and the Southwest -
painting, drawing and longing to return to the
seaside.
