Lucinda Leveille is a contemporary Australian landscape painter working in oil and watercolour. Her work explores stillness, distance and endurance, drawing on weather, memory and the quiet emotional weight of place. Sitting between realism and abstraction, her landscapes are contemplative rather than descriptive, using restrained composition and expressive colour to hold space for reflection.
In 2025 Lucinda was named one of Bluethumb’s Top 50 Artists and represented the platform at the inaugural Affordable Art Fair Brisbane, reflecting the growing regard for her work and the clarity of her voice within contemporary Australian landscape painting.
Lucinda works in series, allowing ideas to deepen and evolve over time. Her road works reflect on distance and quiet journey, while her solitary landscapes explore isolation, resilience and inward calm. Other bodies of work respond to the coast, the canopy surrounding her studio, and nocturnal skies, each shaped by a consistent focus on atmosphere, horizon and held light rather than literal depiction.
Across these works, horizon lines act as visual anchors, guiding the eye into space and stillness. Ordinary scenes are pared back and transformed through unconventional colour and subtle tension, becoming meditations on time, weather and belonging. While her watercolours often embrace luminosity and fluid movement, her oil paintings are more restrained and resolved, dwelling in quiet, enduring states.
Lucinda never produces prints. Each painting is a one-of-a-kind work, created slowly and deliberately as a singular response to place.
Her work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions across the Gold Coast and Melbourne and is held in private and public collections in Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States. Her paintings have appeared in film and television productions including True Spirit, Dream Home and Selling Houses Australia, and are held in institutions such as Parliament House and The Treasury in Canberra, as well as regional public collections.
Lucinda’s paintings invite slow engagement, offering moments of calm and reflection within the vast, weathered spaces of the Australian landscape.
