Lucinda Swain

Lucinda’s oil paintings reach people through their emotions and touch the heart and soul of the individual. Her goal is to touch your soul by capturing the beauty and emotional perspective of life that surrounds us. 

Lucinda Swain was born in Rochester, New York. Her interest in art emerged in her youth, inspired as a child by her grandfather, and artist, Maurice Moss and her mother’s creativity. She was surrounded by art at an early age and was interested in creative works including design, illustration, and painting.

I love to film things, tell stories, and read on the subway. I'm pretty sure blue whales are my power animal.
