Lucinda Chambers
b. 1972, Sydney, Australia
Lives and works in the Southern Highlands, NSW, Australia.
Lucinda Chambers works from a studio overlooking her garden in the Southern Highlands NSW.
Chambers has drawn and painted for as long as she can remember, and nature has always been her focus. Chambers grew up next to the bush in Sydney and remembers climbing through a fence into a huge old overgrown garden bordering the bush. Her secret garden. There she learnt quiet observation and close attention. Chambers paints and stains linen with fine washes of acrylic, and recycles paintings into sculptures with stitching threaded onto a steel armature.
Chambers has been hung twice in the Sulman Prize, AGNSW, and the Salon de Refusés, and exhibits regularly in solo and group exhibitions. Chambers’ studies include College of Fine Arts, UNSW (BFA and MArt) and classical training at the Julian Ashton Art School (Scholarship) and continues a practice of weekly life drawing.
