Lucy Colgate Newell (29 September 1906 – 22 May 1987) was an Australian artist noted for painting and textile printing.
[3] She later did classes in watercolour painting one afternoon a week with Miss Ethel Crook of Bendigo.
[3] Newell studied at the National Gallery School for five years under Bernard Hall but found she didn't much enjoy portraiture or oil painting,[3] and instead took up textile printing with linocut on cotton fabric.
[3] Her mother Alice was a co-founder of the Castlemaine Art Museum[4] with whom Newell later exhibited in 1971[5] and which holds her artwork in their collection.
[8] Newell briefly had to give up artistic pursuits to care for her elderly parents, but spent ten years in Woodend creating work she wanted to do.
