The series presented here – Above The Canopy was inspired by the view from my studio window where a culling of trees occurred and left one spindly lone gum tree.

These paintings take their palette from the vibrant and intense colours of our Australian landscape – the vivid blues and greens of the oceans through to the deep reds and oranges of our deserts plus our changing seasons.

Above The Canopy maps a different world where there is a suspension in time and a quietness and peacefulness to find.

My art celebrates the vibrant beauty of the Australian landscape, capturing the essence in oil paint. I’m particularly drawn to the intricate details of trees and the dynamic movement of clouds, infusing my work with a passion for nature’s grandeur. Through colour and meticulous attention to detail, I aim to evoke of sense of wonder and create a new world to explore.

Lucinda, originally from Sydney studied at the National Art School graduating with a degree in Fine Art in painting, drawing and sculpture, is based on the Gold Coast living on the rim of the Hinterland – the view from her studio window inspires her work which is filled with clouds and trees.

Lucinda is a landscape artist working primarily in oils, enjoying the beauty that this medium offers. Lucinda’s creative process can be sparked by a memory, a piece of poetry or simply a fleeting image. Her art is an expression and interpretation that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also draws out strong emotions as the viewer discovers new connections and layers in the painting.

Lucinda has exhibited widely, including a number of solo exhibitions on the Gold Coast and in Melbourne. Her artworks are held in collections in England, Spain and America. In Australia her works have been sent to Parliament House, Canberra; The Treasury, Canberra; Gold Coast Council Public Library and the Gold Coast Marine Rescue to name a few.
