Lucy Walsh, an accomplished American artist, has garnered recognition as an actress, writer, producer, classical pianist, singer and songwriter. Notable for her theatrical performances, Lucy has been nominated for a Broadway World Award for Best Actress in Shakespeare's 'The Tempest ' and has received an NAACP Theater award for Best Director for ‘Much Ado About Nothing’.

She has also composed the original musical score for the film Normal, which is now receiving accolades in film festivals and has toured internationally as a music artist, most recently with Maroon 5.
Her published book 'Remember Me As Human' portrays the story of the final conversation between an inquisitive young woman named Lucy and her unforgettable ninety-seven-year-old Grandmother Wanda, shortly before Wanda’s death. The story retells the love shared between Wanda and Lucy’s Grandfather Dale Boyer. During their three-day nursing home interview, what began for Lucy as finding out more about her grandparent’s WWII love letters, becomes a much deeper journey of hard-to-ask questions and even harder-to-believe answers than Lucy could’ve ever imagined. It is a journey into her grandmother’s offbeat world and her ancestors’ tumultuous psyches, to the very vortex of her own self-discovery.
As talented as her musician father, Walsh has performed the National Anthem at Dodger Stadium, for President Bill Clinton, Tiger Woods, and LA Mayor Eric Garcetti. Her Roy Orbison cover is included on his Under the Covers album and was seen in Billy Bob Thornton's musical film project And Then We Drove. Currently working on a screenplay based on the letters her grandparents exchanged during World War II, Walsh divides her time between New York and England with her husband, William Sweeny, and their two cats, Gilbert and Jessica Daisy Bing Bings.
