In 1998 she returned to her home county Offaly where she began Lucy Ceramics, a production ceramics business supplying shops at home and abroad with large- scale decorative tableware.

She has collaborated with many community groups on ceramic projects. She was selected to represent her county in the Irish TG4 television series Spleachadh. Private and public commissioning clients include Iarnrod Eireann and Waterways Ireland. She was chosen to be part of a Crafts Council of Ireland project, New Irish Ceramics- a Journey.

She has completed a number of residencys at Cill Rialaig Artist Retreat in Kerry.

In 2018 Lucy received an MA in Ecopsychology. This is a trans-disciplinary MA that combines the ares of the Science and the Humanities. Her work now blends the areas of the Arts (Ceramics) with the Sciences and the Humanities in an endeavour to cultivate and encourage new ways of understanding, perceiving and celebrating our interconnections with the living word'.
