Lucy was born in Wager Bay in 1953. "When I was 16 years old, I started to carve because my parents were carvers. At first, I carved soapstone and whale bones. In the 1980's, I started making jewellery, " Lucy explains.

Lucy looks at the stone, and then decides what to carve, and she can carve anything. In one piece, Lucy might use bone, bowhead whale, limestone, and polar bear claws to make the work truly unique. Lucy says "I try to make my own different things."

Lucy has produced many different ring designs, and is always looking for new ideas. Recently, she found pieces inside the codfish head and thought of making earrings.
