Every artist needs a muse, and Lucinda found hers in 1989 on the island of St. Croix. The gingerbread homes of Christiansted and Fredericksted called out to her as she wandered through the streets. Taking photos of what she saw, Lucinda would later sit at her kitchen table and mix watercolors, transforming the mundane into the magical with her paintings. The artist has always been inspired by early mornings and late afternoons. This is when life becomes rich in texture and bold in color. Lucinda's brushstrokes capture these times, not only in watercolor, but with the thick medium of oil.
She has refined her watercolor talents studying under such well known artists as Jeanne Dobie, Barbara Kellogg, and, most recently, Mel Stabin. For the past ten years, she has been guided by masters such as Milton Avery, Vincent Van Gogh, and Henri Matisse. Of course, their expert tutelage came with the careful study of books and tenacious viewing of exhibits.
Today, Lucinda's St. Thomas studio, Cloud Nine, is located on the top of historical Crystal Gade in Charlotte Amalie where she captures the essence of the islands with fluid colors. Bright cadmium red rooftops juxtaposed against the turquoise sea of Charlotte Amalie also help to color the palettes of Lucinda's abstracts."
