Lucinda Crimson has been obsessed with pattern, colour, a maximalist aesthetic and mid-century objects since she was a teenager in the 80s.

 

Her current works consist of spray-painted patterns overlaid with oil-painted portraits of some of the many vintage objects that she is unable to discard. These objects are elevated to the status of subject; with backgrounds representing their imagined characters, befitting the many years that they have spent collecting dust on her shelves.

​

Lucinda studied Fine Arts after school but went into fashion design, hand screen-printing all her own fabrics. These passions have merged and now Lucinda also designs surface patterns for fabric and wallpaper. 

​

For the past 8 years Lucinda taught Visual Arts and Textiles part-time at a local high school. She has lived with mild ME/CFS for many years but mid-2023 caught a virus which further disabled her so she is now housebound. She happily lives with 3 blackish cats and plenty of house plants.
