Lucinda Storm
‘There are valuable insights to be gained from an examination of our perception of the world. Observations can be drawn from not only what we see but how we perceive. This encapsulates both our interior and exterior worlds and accounts for multidisciplinary ways of ‘seeing’. It is from this viewpoint that I try to capture in word and image the fleeting moments and experience of life’ –
Lucinda Storm, 2024.
Biography:
Lucinda Storm is an award winning artist based in South West England. She is the recipient of the Winsor and Newton Oil Award, 2018 by the Royal Society of Marine Artists, Mall Galleries, London. As a student of Literature and the Arts, she gained a first class Master’s Degree from University of Oxford in 2022.
Alongside her art, as a researcher and writer her dissertation explored Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s innovative use of liminal space to convey bewitching sites and catalysts of transformation in his watercolour painting Lady Lilith and its accompanying sonnet ‘Body’s Beauty’. During her Masters, as part of the editorial and design team, she contributed to the interdisciplinary Arts journal, ‘VIDES’, where she wrote on the significance of the representation of women in John Singleton Copley’s painting The Death of Major Peirson, 1781, (1783) to Mary Wollstonecraft’s A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, (1792).
Her career as a fashion model has fed her fascination with the powerful interplay of word and image and its role in transformative multidisciplinary ways of ‘seeing’.

ARTIST STATEMENT:
Painting is a response to the visual world and begins with direct observation in front of the subject matter. Light and its interaction with shape, pattern, colour, tone and form is a particular preoccupation. The immediacy of watercolour, charcoal and pencil sketches quickly seizes the moment with more detailed studies completed in the studio. Oil sketches are also done on the spot to record more information. An online sketchbook logs daily ideas from which larger pieces emerge, often with return visits to the subject to glean more. Inspired by Eleanor Roosevelt’s adage, ‘Do one thing every day that scares you’, a painting a day, duly posted on social media has built a body of work that reflects my obsession with the natural world. It is difficult to escape the feeling that beautiful surroundings beg to be recorded in some way, usually a fleeting moment of light and colour. At its centre, the discipline of trying to express the atmosphere of a mesmeric juncture has a wonderfully meditative stillness to it. Finding some way to encapsulate an interior response to these moments both sustains and nourishes. Like the art of inhabiting the moment, authentic representation captures the many changes in the light effects on land, sky, and water. There is a signature to the landscape which consumes me. Attempting to pin down its arresting quality transforms the ordinary into something quite magical: the extraordinary.
