Lucinda Waits is an acrylic painter living in London.

Inspired by her grandmother who was an artist, her love of painting began at an early age and since then she has never been too far from a paintbrush.

Born in Winchester, Lucinda lived and went to school in Hampshire. She studied Art and Design at Peter Symonds College, Winchester before moving to South London to study Art History and Dance at the University of Surrey, Roehampton.

Graduating with a First Degree she went on that year to help organise and exhibit at the Inspired Art Fair, at the Truman Brewery.

She recently joined the Lloyd's Art Group and frequently exhibits with them in the City of London at Broker's Wine bar and Lloyd's of London in their annual Autumn Exhibition.

Lucinda’s early abstract art was inspired by mathematical spirals drawn in maths at school. Spirals and symmetry which are also inherent in the nature around us and create a beauty in the world which humans are drawn to.

At college she discovered the world of optical illusionists, in particular the work of Bridget Riley, and began to experiment with the effect of patterns and colours on the viewer’s experience of art.

Despite deciding to focus her study on other artists at University, Lucinda continued to produce art work and enjoyed the freedom that working outside the remit of a syllabus permitted.

In her early 20’s a new style of painting was borne out of a sky diving experience which gave her the idea of capturing motion and conveying the sense of exhilaration she had experienced. This fuelled her series of sports paintings and has led to a number of commissions.

Most recently her work has taken inspiration from her job at the BCO where she works alongside architects. Her love of clean lines and form is seen distinctly in architecture and she has begun to focus her energy on painting city landscapes.
