of Background

Lucinda Jane Lang

After obtaining a degree at the National Art school, Sydney. Lucinda had a 30 year career in Graphic design, working in Sydney, London, Dublin and finally Canberra. She then went on to obtain a Bachelor of Arts degree from the Australian National University. She started painting in watercolour in retirement.

Lucinda was born and raised on the Monaro and still spends time on the family sheep and cattle property near Cooma. The Monaro is an endless source of inspiration for her to paint its many moods and changing colours. She likes being in the landscape, painting ‘en plain air’ surrounded by the sounds and smells of nature. Portraying a feeling the warmth of sunlight and capturing the movement of breeze is a wonderful challenge.

She is an exhibiting member of the Raglan Gallery Cooma, the Monaro Art group, Cooma; the Canberra Art Workshop (CAW) at M16 in Griffith, Canberra and the Queanbeyan Art Society. Lucinda is also kept busy as a volunteer guide at the National Gallery of Australia.
