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.
