Lucinda Law is a nature-focused artist, writer, and educator from Singapore. She is also the founding director of her eponymous nature-led creative studio. Since 2016, she has worked with over 50 clients who are passionate about the natural world to produce mixed-media artworks, bespoke designs, and educational programs. Her clients range from private government institutions to luxury brands.
Her work as a botanical artist, writer, educator, and founding director of a nature-led creative studio is expressed in the mixed-media artworks, educational programs, and creative retreats that she hosts.
She created works of art using mixed media, ranging from traditional water colour media to contemporary expressions of augmented reality in intimate and mural formats. Lucinda runs a program in Singapore and regularly teaches art classes inspired by nature.
Writing about her travels and theoretical and cultural studies are part of Lucinda’s background. For six years, she worked at an arts university in Singapore as a Senior Lecturer, during which time she oversaw cultural and theoretical studies within the fashion program. Her education consists of a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature, a Master of Arts in Fine Arts, and Intermediate Botanical Illustrations from the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, all in the United Kingdom.
She is the first Art & Graphic Ambassador for Faber-Castell Singapore and the first Brand Ambassador for Diptyque Singapore. Lucinda has worked as a brand personality for Mulberry and Chanel, giving her a tremendous opportunity to share her passion for art with a broader audience. It was a great honour for her to be the first artist to illustrate the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Singapore and the cover of the first issue of Centurion, which American Express published. She has lent her talents as a creative consultant to the Singapore Association of Women Lawyers as part of her volunteer work.
She is working on her upcoming exhibition and book while working on client commissions and managing her studio. She practices meditation daily and encourages others to live lives more in tune with the splendour of nature, with themselves, and with others. When she isn’t working in the studio, you can find her out on a nature hike or taking a stroll with other people who have a similar appreciation for the outdoors.
Lucinda is a pioneer in developing innovative bespoke nature-led creative arts classes and retreats for city dwellers. Her popular Botanical Art classes combine technical art and holistic skills with harmonised syllables.
Her work emphasises nature’s beauty and complements her clients’ themes of nature connection, biodiversity, sustainability, and well-being. Her work has appeared on magazine covers, landmarks, bespoke merchandise, corporate gifts, and hotel interiors.
Lucinda’s creative process provides her with close access to and connection to botanical subjects. Through her work, she enjoys telling stories about the relationship between nature’s beauty and happiness. The stories are inspired by wellness, ethnobotany, conservation, and biodiversity preservation.
She enjoys researching how artwork is created, so understanding, reading, and seeing the various creative processes of other artists from multiple expressions in the field of nature and arts is enjoyable for her. Field research, with its numerous opportunities to observe and document nature, always results in new ways of seeing and creating.
Collaborate with someone whose eyes light up when they talk about plants and who truly understands why nature is awe-inspiring within the confines of their knowledge. Humour is also necessary for long car rides or hikes.
Lucinda wants to see and learn more about how nature and art promote human well-being. She hopes to create works relating to the conservation of forest biodiversity and the benefits of being in nature through the creation of her studio. She is also inspired to share how, in an increasingly digital age, we can find various ways to live closer to nature because living in harmony with nature allows her to live more fulfilled and creative lives.
Aside from her studio’s ongoing art and design commissions, Botanical paintings for corporate institutions, and plant illustrations for books, Lucinda plans to work on an exhibition and book about South-East Asia’s native flora and fauna, beginning with Singapore.
