Luey has been awarded both the Gordon Luton Award for Painting and the Land Securities Studio Prize. Her publications include A Short Affair (2018) and the Iris Murdoch Review (2024) and recent exhibitions include The Bell, The Bell, Taymour Grahne Projects, 2024; Perspectives, Petronilla Silver at 8 Holland Street, 2023; 8, curated by Luey Graves and Katy Kirbach, Sydney Mews, 2022.
