Lucinda Penn brings together foundations of art and design across large scale murals to detailed digital formats. Based on Kaurna Land in Adelaide, Australia, her work dissects the human experience in an attempt to understand it. She deconstructs life into symbolic fragments, and uses colour theory to reconstruct these into new intertwining compositions to narrate stories and express feelings. 

​

Signing her pieces with the shortening LCND, her longest printed mural was over 450m on hoarding (Adelaide Festival Plaza, 2022-2023) and her tallest painted wall is three stories high at 10m (Studio Safari, 2022.) Lucinda loves running her mural workshops where she has engaged a total of 650 communities members of all ages in helping paint her designs over the last 6 years across Australia and Europe. She is interested in using her surplus mural paint to transform found and unwanted surfaces in her studio practice, with her latest solo show ‘Handle’ (Collective Haunt Gallery, 2023) being a collection of paintings about handling life on upcycled kitchen cupboard doors with their handles in tact.

Lucinda recently completed an art residency at Arteventura  (Spain, 2024), painting her first international mural in Corteconcepcion (Andalusia). She was invited to paint a mural at Teufelsberg Street Art Gallery (Berlin) and finished her tour with a mural at Libertailia Brewery in Leyton (London). Lucinda won a Resene Total Colour Award (New Zealand, 2023), had two projects in the Australian Graphic Design Awards Finalists (2023) and won a Good Design Award for her collaborative mural residency, painting a mural in response to climate change with 150 students at Woodville High School (2024).
