Lloyd was born in London to a well-connected artistic family, her mother was a painter and several relatives were architects, including her grandfather, William Curtis Green.
[1] Before she had even graduated from the RCA Lloyd completed several public and private mural commissions, notably for the Chelsea Pensioners' Rest Hall, The Tote Investors' Board Room and for the National Farmers Union.
Between 1960 and 1988 Lloyd was a regular guest lecturer at both the Yehudi Menuhin School and the Interlocken International Centre in New Hampshire.
India was a great influence on her work and she often used a richly coloured palette to create informal scenes and still lives in, apparently strong sunlight.
[1][2] During the 1980s, Lloyd undertook work on several film productions, doing scene painting for Chariots of Fire, Flash Gordon, Breaking Glass and The Mirror Crack'd.
