The artist embraces a twenty-first century multidelic variety of medium, textures and colors.  Her medium encompasses acrylic, paint, watercolor, color pencil, pastel, textile, photography and cut paper. Images created many times become collages that embody paper, paint, wood, textiles or scraps of .  But most striking about her art are the colors.  “The twenty-first century is one of overwhelming visual and visceral stimulation and multiplicity of moods, sounds and activity that I attempt to capture as a fiesta or jamboree with multidelic layering of colors and textures.”

Lucinda is well schooled in the rigorous techniques of art, receiving awards and scholarships,  she obtained a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Rochester Institute of Technology in 1985 her post-graduate studies are in glass, paint and collage at Duke University, Yellow Barn Gallery & Studio and Maryland Hall for Creative Arts. She has exhibited in New York , Massachusetts , North Carolina , Baltimore , the Washington , DC area and Annapolis , MD.

Her twenty- year experience in the consumer packaging industry honed her fine art technical training into pragmatic industrial application. “Experience as a graphic designer and corporate art director forced me into creating art that was eye catching and conveyed instantly a message.  Success also was measurable.”  But the artistic confidence to attempt to capture a compound variety of  medium, texture and color came from her experience as a director of business development and director of manufacturing procedures at packaging corporations. “Creating packaging is art, the fundamentals of business and mass production of packing is science. But the managing of people, both designers and those operating large, clanging, banging, oil dripping machines, is art again because people come in a variety of glorious idiosyncrasies and individualities.. All of this life experience is transformed into my art as I try to grapple with and bring order to the chaotic stimulus of my mind and senses.”

As an artist she is driven to explore with and develop techniques that create texture and depth. The world is not flat and neither is her work, although at first glance or from a distance they seem 2-D as the viewer comes closer the compositions expose layers of intricate details. Her collages are either photographic collages or paint and paper collages. Her collages are inspired by parades, festivals and summer carnivals, they capture a playful and lively atmosphere. Some compositions are multi-medium scratchboard using acrylic paints which require the artist to work very quickly. After the image is created by the removing of ‘wet paint’ she then slows down to add detail and define certain shapes.  Her colors are vibrant and festive, the shapes are playful creating a feeling of floating or gliding.
