Above the Canopy – Lucinda Leveille

MIST GALLERY presents:

ABOVE THE CANOPY – Lucinda Leveille 

Opening drinks Sat 9th 2pm at Mist Gallery (opposite The Beach Apartments) 

I believe my work tells a story, that story explains my environment, my life, my surroundings – my timeline.
This body of work was inspired by a tree culling outside my studio window, all that was left was one spindly lone gum tree reaching up to the sky – the Above The Canopy series was born.
These paintings take their palette from the vibrant and intense colours of our Australian landscape – the vivid blues and greens of the oceans through to the deep reds and oranges of our deserts plus our changing seasons. The intense colour requires many layers of glazing with pure pigment which I believe can only be achieved with oil paint.
Above The Canopy maps a different world where there is a suspension in time and a quietness and peacefulness to find.

BIO:
Lucinda, originally from Sydney studied at the National Art School graduating with a degree in Fine Art in painting, drawing and sculpture, is based on the Gold Coast living on the rim of the Hinterland – the view from her studio window inspires her work which is filled with clouds and trees. 
Lucinda is a landscape artist working primarily in oils, enjoying the beauty that this medium offers.
Lucinda’s creative process can be sparked by a memory, a piece of poetry or simply a fleeting image. Her art is an expression and interpretation that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also draws out strong emotions as the viewer discovers new connections and layers in the painting.
